Symbolism of a pine cone in dreams

The symbolism of a pine cone is often used to cover an array of different meanings and is seen across many spiritual themes. Pine cones are seen as symbols of regeneration and they are often used as a symbol of spiritual awakening and enlightenment they connect strongly with the pineal gland and its connection with the third eye.

The process of opening and closing could link with a person's ability to open their mind or their third eye to unseen possibilities, when a pine cone is dry it is closed and when it is wet it will open, so pay attention to other symbolism regards the cone in your dream. Life needs water (the life giver) to be able expand so you could look at it like your psychic abilities need to be nurtured for progress to be made. Remember water is also used to describe your emotional connection to something.

In contrast to this, When enlightenment first begins a person will often fixate or think only about spiritual progression, but there are times when being able to close the mind off to psychic incomings will be equally as important. Being able to have control over the opening and closing of ones mind or psychic abilities like 'seeing or hearing' the spirit world should be learned before exploring the unknown. With this in mind the pine cone is a great symbol for explaining this idea to an awakened beginner. The protective layers of pinecones symbolise 'guarding what is precious' using patience and resilience.

Food in the spirit realms and in dreams

Food in the spirit world

Food tastes amazing in the spirit world it is better and more complete than we get on earth. The taste lasts longer and is more pronounced, deeper somehow, the taste will often travel further than the mouth, there is texture, moisture, cold, warmth and smell. Eating or drinking is a complete experience and cannot be explained using earths standards or experience.

Food is created rather than grown or killed, created by people who have a high standard of abilities with these types of pleasurable creations. The same as artists create a picture or music a song or a sculpture a culinary artist creates taste.p

The colours, smells, taste and temperature are combined into the creation, using energy that has been defined to become whatever is wanted or needed.

Energy is drawn or directed from source, it is raw or pure energy and is un-defined in its nature. The creator will then start to define its nature and prepare its use, giving it shape, size, colour, texture, aroma, taste or whatever element is needed to complete the experience.

A food technician will almost always have pre-made aromas and tastes etc that are ready to be altered or improved or even diluted to create the required food experience.

The creation process is universal in that whatever is being created will often require many components in order to create the desired outcomes. It goes without saying that half of any creations that are planed often need plenty of experimental trial and error before reaching a satisfactory conclusion.

Many eons of practice make it easier of course but creators are always looking for something new and exciting to replace the older versions of their creations.

Life is a creation of your own, you set out with a plan and create a unique experience, how it tastes at the end is of your own making.

Food in dreams can be used to symbolise anything that you are trying to create, its a great source of nourishment on the earth and we need it to live, therefore, it helps us understand how fulfilled we are with our circumstances or our role in life or even in a career.

Dreaming of an Alien invasion

Dreaming of an alien invasion in the sky

I've had this dream a few times in my life, the contents of which are all quite similar, each time I notice that there are lights in the sky and then more arrive and I notice a huge mother ship as well. In my recent dream I saw stars in the shape of a huge crab, and knew that this was a sign of something, I can only presume that either the crab nebular or the star constellation of cancer had something to do with the symbolism regards an invasion or celestial occurrence. I am not waiting for an alien invasion and although I assume there must be some kind of life out there I am not necessarily preoccupied with the idea of aliens and motherships. Why have I had this recurring dream throughout my life and why this time did I see a giant crab made out of stars?

Recurring themes in our dreams happen to remind us of recurring themes within our life, so they often happen at times when similar themes are playing out, or when we are revisiting emotions or circumstances that we have encountered before.

In this case it could be the enormity of situations which seem out of your control or guided by the heavens. Aliens are quite often used to represent the unknown, personalities or circumstances that you are not used to dealing with, but you can use your previous experiences to help you deal with new obstacles or themes as they play out. Remember 'You have done this before' it might not be exactly the same this time, just like when recurring dreams change slightly but you still have those needed skills to negotiate any situation you might face.

An Alien invasion can be likened to an unknown outside force forcing their will over you and taking over your life, for example an illness that takes over and seems to dominate, the aliens are the germs and viruses invading your immune system, or the aliens can be people invading your space.

The mother ship can be viewed as the source or the controlling mother type where the design of your life seems to emanate from. This can help you understand that you give up control of all your experiences to a higher power, maybe you feel like things just happen to you rather than you having control over what happens to you.

All of these dream symbols point to your own feelings of powerlessness and of not having control over your own situations or the other people in those situations with you.

The crab sign as you mentioned could be a symbol of someone with the star sign of cancer, it could also be a literal translation and represent the illness of cancer, not necessarily with yourself but with someone else near to you. Which in itself could would help to explain the helplessness and lack of control over circumstances.

The star sign of cancer falls in June/July and as the crab you saw in your dream was made form stars it might be pointing you towards this time in the year.

Dream about sorting Lego blocks

Dream about sorting Lego blocks

I dreamed that I was in a hospital visiting my mum (who has passed away not too long ago) but in my dream she was alive but in the hospital bed having treatment because there was something wrong in her head, I couldn't hear what the doctor was telling her but she was making gestures and pointing to her head, so I kind of guessed at what she was telling him and what he was saying to her.

The doctor came over to me and said 'I need you to do something for me!'

He then said 'can you take over this job' that another doctor was doing, he was sorting out lego bricks from a large assortment, the doctor who was sorting the lego said 'it has taken me some time to sort all the green lego bricks, and I have got to 300 but I need you to take over,' he also said that I needed to spend as much time as I could to do this.

I agreed to continue with the lego sorting, and sat down at the end of my mums hospital bed and proceeded to sort the green lego bricks and put them all together in a separate box. I continued for as long as I could, then I counted them and realised I had counted 700 so with the doctors 300 we now had a thousand. When I looked in the box I realised I had put some red ones in by mistake, but apparently my time was up and I couldn't go back in and change it.

My mum has been gone for a year now and although I cared for her for three years before her death we had quite a difficult relationship, not just in the last three years but all the way back to my teenage years.

It was a love/hate relationship. I was an only child so we had an immense bond all the way through our lives. When my daughter came along she too joined this bond and the three of us did everything together, my daughter's relationship with my mum was far more comfortable and they never argued or disagreed whereas, my mum and I continued to spend half our time arguing and the other half being very loving towards each other. I can be Jekyell and Hyde and my mum was the same way, which meant that if the wrong two characters met on any given day the air could be toxic and damaging.

Grieving is a little more complicated when a relationship isn't straight forward, you have to come to terms with the relationship that you had and accept you cannot change it now that the person has died. Unfortunately, half of me misses her like crazy and the other half is relieved that we don't have to argue anymore. This seems unbalanced and difficult to negotiate in ones own mind, I want closure, I want to know where we stand, do we love or hate each other, I want our mother/daughter relationship to be easy even though she isn't here anymore. I think of her in the afterlife and wonder if she has changed, I wonder if Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde have gone or have they been fully integrated into one Mrs. Nice persona. I want to know so I can put my own personality into order, was it me or was it her? whose fault was all those arguments down to? Even if we go halfsies on the damage, can we have a relationship in the future spirit realms of peace and harmony?

We hurt each other and we couldn't find peace within our relationship even at the end of her life. I had to pretend and play act, I had to learn to shut up and just agree with everything right up to the very end. It was the only way to bring peace which is what she needed.

I learned a lot, and I am grateful for the experience because it helped me learn so much about myself it helped me really want peace for someone who I love but didn't get along with very well.

The doctors in the dream were letting me know that my mum has the same mental issues as I do I'm sure, she deserves peace as do I. The green lego bricks are probably symbolic for the relationships we build in our lives. Green is a healthy healing colour and the red bricks I threw in by mistake are the love and anger combos we continually grappled with. I still believe that she sees me as responsible and I still see her as responsible, this is something we both have to come to terms with and these issues seem to continue after death.

I don't think spirit can actually tell you what's happening in the mind of the diseased soul, which is why I didn't hear what my mum and the doctor were talking about. I was shown through their actions in the dream and that is allowed. Its to do with free will on the earth and that spirit are not allowed to interfere in any way. I understood that my mum still has things on her mind the same as me, and if I find peace I know she will too.

Just because someone has passed away it doesn't mean you have to accept where the relationship was at the time of death, you can still work it out after, you can still find peace with each other by accepting each other for what you were and just loving each other regardless. Forgiveness is something that must be given to yourself and the other person. Look for the lessons you both learned and the strength that was gained from the experiences you shared. Remember, there are no mistakes just red bits of lego in with the green. You cant change the past but you can always work on the future.

Dreaming About an Octopus

Octopus

I dreamed that I saw a man with an octopus stuck to his arm. I was worried about him and I didn't know what to do to help him. Then all of a sudden the Octopus detached from him and fell on the floor, the man then collapsed and died. The octopus was alive but couldn't get to its natural home. I didn't know the man and didn't know what to do to help him or the Octopus?

Water creatures are driven and ruled by their emotions

Octopus are often depicted in films and mythology as creatures that share a link with aliens, or they are used to describe what kind of alien life we might find on other planets. This is not surprising when you think about it as they have been around on this planet since before the dinosaurs (the latest fossil data has shown) and its for this reason they can be viewed as creatures whose DNA can store data about the earth from when they first evolved in the sea. Its not too far of a stretch to imagine they can survive in an array of different atmospheres and would probably have evolved on other planets as well, if there is water of course. So its not surprising they are used as a representation of what we might imagine some Alien creatures to be like.

The Octopus are thought to translate data or knowledge about what they know about the earth to humans via touch and they are often depicted as telepathic in nature and can use vibration to transfer their messages in the same way as humans do. If or not you buy in to any of this is up to you, but they have managed to survive billions of years on the earth without causing any damage and humans cannot say the same.

Lets imagine that they have surpassed us in spiritual knowledge and that they store information in their DNA which is passed on to their offspring, the parent Octopus then dies when it has mated. Its job is done and is hopefully happy in the knowledge that it lives on through its children and has passed on important information for the next generation.

Dreams about Octopus can be related to a spiritual awakening and the passing on of knowledge about the earth, life on other planets and the afterlife or alternate dimensions.

To decipher symbolism from your dream, I would have to consider all the above information in regards to Octopuses. I would like to think that your dream is referring to spiritual matters but the Octopus has attached itself to a man, who then dies from the detachment, it is passing on its knowledge to him but perhaps the knowledge is too much for the man and so it overpowers him. I might be inclined to wonder if a man in your life has attachment issues, either spiritually or physically, has he opened himself up or attempted a spiritual awakening using drugs or without the proper protection? The knowledge is alien to him and causes more harm than good, especially without people around to help him develop in a natural way.

Looking at it from an earthly point of view sometimes people feel that detachment from others will bring about their own demise, or perhaps they feel that they cant live without drugs, the octopus can also represent how good the drug connection feels but when it is gone the person cannot live without them.

Drugs are quite often a gateway to a person opening up their third eye or their psychic abilities, but unfortunately this is not the natural way to do it and the person will find that they can't close the gateway and will become overwhelmed by everything they experience, the drugs will also cause paranoia and that does not mix well with an open psyche, disaster often prevails.

Of course you will hardly be able to help.

The Galactic Dream

Galactic Dream

Sufficed to say, what follows is an account of a dream so incredulous in its fantastic magnitude and unmistakable clarity that I personally find it overwhelmingly bewildering. I have thought long and hard as to its presentation and applied my technique of asking the questions;

Who, what, where, when, why, and how, to find a rational and sensible conclusion to its meaning. So, bearing that in mind, it is presented (AS IS) without embellishments.

First, it is important to bring life and substance into the main characters and their parts played in the dream.

This reminds me of how we often compare life to a theatre and the different characters who are taking part in a particular planned and well thought out life time. People (characters) have their parts to play through-out our lives, they might have small parts to play or bigger more important roles. Think along the lines of planning a life which is actually like creating a play, looking at what you wish to achieve in that life time and the people around you who are in a place to help you create it.

The first character:

Has that ability to bring together the sciences, people, equipment, extra-dimensional thinkers, inter-agency communications, televisual contracts, as well as finance.

In a nutshell he is Mr Fix-It extraordinaire.

This character would be/or is a representation of the type of character whom you would need to help create a larger-than-life change or experience, he, being Mr Fix it, has the skills and knowledge to link up all the different characters, their skills and the out of the box thinkers, agencies (referring to a collective) Televisual (Referring to shared knowledge and communication)

In the dream I am a world-renowned music composer, who also has a fascination with the human voice in the choral form to produce ultra-magnificent and out of the box vocals, one of which is the spiral-overlapping crescendo. For the performance we were to give I used 10 full orchestras and 5,000 of the best male and female voices.

You are concerned with Vibration and energy along with communication. Creating a vibrational energy like no other. (You need a lot of souls to do this, 5000 different vibrations would create quite the powerful vibration needed) The ripple effect comes to mind, perhaps you need to take note of the power of the collective. One person sharing information nowadays can soon reach 5000, therefore if you make a small change in a positive way, it will soon grow into something substantial. Or if you put out one positive thing it will soon reach the masses.

I think this section is about the ripple effect and positive energy and sharing it with others.

I’m wondering what you are planning or wanting to achieve with your work or with friends/Colleagues. I need you to take note of the fact that a Galactic reach wouldn’t necessarily show up in its entirety until you viewed your life from afar where you would see the ripple effect of one action or intention. I am not of course trying to piss on your parade.

Of course, you are capable of a Galactic reach with your actions and positivity, I’m just being practical and trying to help you see that from acorns, oak trees grow and you probably don’t realize that what you view as a seed thrown out into the wind has started to develop into something bigger. The internet is a great resource for reaching other people but you might not be aware of the people who you actually help. But you’re not in it for the adulation so its here nor there.

The venue is a brand new 150,000-seater stadium in Madrid, Spain.

The occasion is the FIFA World Cup Opening and Closing ceremonies. The stadium was ultra-special, first, the stadium itself was constructed as a perfect oval, then completely covering the stadium was constructed a crystal pyramid from a crystal of the purest kind mined from the crystal mines in Brazil. Two special crystals were strategically placed, one in the apex of the pyramid and the second and largest, some 20 feet tall, was set under the centre spot of the pitch at precisely the correct depth so that the measurement of the tip of the crystal in the ground to the tip of the crystal in the apex of the pyramid was exactly matching the Golden ratio of 1.618 (phi). Also, under the big crystal in the ground was constructed an aquifer, just like the Pyramids of Giza. The capstone of the pyramid was created from the purest gold from the four corners of the earth.

One could feel the intense tingling of electricity in this incredible space. The resonance of the crystal pyramid accentuated the music and the choral vocals most perfectly. Myself, as the musical director, had worked for 4 years creating an operatic spectacular, both vocally and musically. The music encompassed the music styles from all nations.

The real venue might be earth. Football is a team game which requires everyone to play their part in order to reach goals. All the characters aiming for the same goal like changing the resonance of earth perhaps, through vibration, energy and meditation etc. The capstone is probably a representation of the god head or the source, The crystals will represent pure energy from the characters in your play, or our play. The aquifer is needed to take the energy below and out to the masses. Remember, water always links to emotions it is a pure life source.

The special crystals are probably used to represent special people who have been strategically placed to share that special energy with the world. And we all know the power of the pyramid and all that it entails. We also understand the importance of the golden ratio in nature and the earth, so that doesn't need much explaining.

Music is a brilliant representation of vibrational energy and what we create for others.

Individuals singing are giving out their own unique energy and as a collective the energy blends into harmonious beauty. Even negative energy actually creates and blends to create different hues and harmonies that wouldn’t be possible without them. What we view as bad is actually needed for balance. You know the teaching of no pain no gain. Unfortunately, we only grow from the dirt.

I still think it’s all referring to the world/Earth as a whole. The United Nations.

The opening ceremony and musical and vocal performance were incredulous, and all television, radio and print media gave the spectacular the most incredible reviews. That was only the opening ceremony and performance, something 1,000 times more unbelievable was to come at the closing ceremony and performance. For the closing ceremony, character 1, had organised 5,000 spiritualists who were masters of meditation were to be organised in the top tier, encircling the stadium, and their job was to create energy going anti-clockwise around the stadium to really ramp up the energy and to push it as far as they could.

Like I said I feel that this dream is referring to spreading the energy far and wide, to ramp up the energy of the world as a whole. Our hearts’ beat with toroidal energy so why not the earths energy too.

The day of the closing ceremony within the Crystal Pyramid and the 150,000-seater stadium was now in full swing. I had a surprise up my sleeve. I had chosen the song Barcelona; as sung by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé, only myself, the 10 full orchestras and the 5,000 choral voices knew that this was to be the final song, and we had practiced and practiced until the spiral-overlapping crescendo was pitch and tone perfect, along with the orchestral accompaniment. The 150,000 crowd went absolutely crazy with a crescendo of cheers never heard before. But, that was nothing compared to what happened next. There was a massive flash of golden light between the apex of the pyramid and the centre spot of the pitch, and a branch of that light shone onto the spot where we were both sitting. Then, from that beam of golden light walked a man, in a one-piece grey suit, he walked up to us and offered his hand, we shook it, he said "I bring greetings from the people of the Pleiades, you constructed it, you called, we heard, we came, and now we greet you;. But I have something else for you both, please look into the golden light." We both looked, and from the golden light appeared a relative, in all his finery, and was smiling madly and he greeted us with a handshake and a big embrace, then following him came Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Sir Isaac Newton, Freud, and a plethora of other notable greats, all of whom waved at the crowd and seemed extremely happy.

All the greatest minds from the past are helping to increase the earths and its inhabitant’s vibration along with the souls who presently reside here. Why do we need to increase earth and its soul’s energy vibration? did I hear you ask? Well from what I remember regards this, when I planned my own life, it was with the purpose of doing exactly this. To bring love and enlightenment etc etc to make other people kinder and to help them understand that a life of service is more fulfilling and rewarding than being a self-centered self-interested character.

Also, I remember that the time was fast coming where some souls would not be able to use earth as their learning playground, because earth was transitioning into a higher vibration, where only higher vibrational souls would fit, if you know what I mean. I’m sure you do.

Now, the next part of the dream refers to the extraterrestrial souls who I am pretty sure are to be outed within the next few years, I’m positive that disclosure is going to happen at some stage, if not drip fed into the wider media and social media. When this does eventually happen the enlightened probably won't bat an eyelid at the news, but the ignorant/uneducated in these matters will probably not have the skills to cope. And then we will have to try and sort them

out, wont we?

Quick story:

When I was very young, about 12, I dreamed that I was taken on board this massive craft, it was huge. I was told that the time would come when I would be needed to help people on earth come to terms with the news regards the extra-terrestrial beings.

Years later, when I was 35, my husband and I and my two friends witness this huge football stadium sized craft above our houses. It was enormous and I kid you not. It had orange and red lights spinning.

I knew why they were there, having never forgot my childhood dream. But I never said anything to the others.

I also had another dream quite recently where my spiritual guide took me to visit these alien beings that were being kept underground in some government place. Let me tell you they stunk to high heaven and I commented such. These beings were possibly of the reptile type and I said why didn’t you take me to see the nice ones?

A character in your dream said, "There is something you need to see, and we invite you to join us, and not to worry as you will be returned promptly. We followed these greats into the golden light and
immediately found ourselves in the Pleiades, amongst all the greats who called themselves the children of the stars. We were shown all the experiments that they were working on with instruments and unknown technologies, and we were told, ;One day you will be collected and taken to this place of freedom and peace for all eternity in perfect happiness. Then, in an instant, we were back in our original place in the stadium as if we had never left. We looked at each other in a manner that expressed our surprise."

I hope you understand most of this explanation.

The galactic dream refers to the galactic federation, the galactic community, communication, energy vibration, sharing knowledge, the individuals on earth who have the knowledge and experience to cope with it all and spread the word in any which way they can, no matter how small, as it spreads like wild fire like all the best gossip does. The energy and vibration of this planet and the souls who reside here must and will become more tuned and refined as spiritual beings before disclosure can happen.

Recurring dreams about riding a bicycle and trying to get to a place of study?

(Destination/Journey/Transport)

Please could you translate my recurring dreams about riding a bicycle and getting to a place of study.

They all contain myself on a bicycle, on a difficult road for me to get from A to B. The bicycle always, either, gets a puncture, or the lights fail. I find myself having to follow other roads and tracks that take me miles out of my way.

The life journey dream

Bicycle = The cycle you are in and going around and around the same cycle and not feeling able to change it.

A bicycle offers an alternative way of getting along during this phase of your journey through life. You need to put in a little extra effort to move forward, increase your motivation, and drive to propel yourself in the direction you wish to take. (Getting out of the same old cycle)

A bicycle is a single passenger mode of travelling and requires you to use a separate set of instincts than driving a motor vehicle, this helps you understand that the next part of your journey needs to be done alone and requires you to be stronger and more organised than you have needed to be in the past.

The next phase will also require that you find an inner peace so that you can ride smoothly over and through any obstacles that you come up against on your path.

There is a certain amount of freedom and enjoyment that can be gained from using a bicycle as a means of transport, in the same way that there are benefits to being single or working alone. Travel dreams occur when we want to move forward with our life and the transport that we use in a dream represents the help we need to make that progress; a bicycle requires you to use your own energy. Transport also helps to explain how quickly you need to move things along and if you are moving too fast or not fast enough, a bike is an ideal symbol to explain this situation to you. Think about if you were going uphill or downhill or if the ride was smooth or difficult? Did you have the energy to move forward or did you find it hard work doing it all by yourself, also consider if there were any problems with the bike in your dream?

Paths simply refer to the chosen path you are on, the issues with the bike or the path itself are a representation or the obstacles you might come across before reaching your destination.

Following other roads is an easy translation of trying out different things to see if they make sense to you, if they don't its because they do not lead to your chosen destination. Having said this it's all learning and nothing you see and learn on a path is wasted, even if you feel that your not on the right path sometimes we need to be on the wrong path to actually know its not the path you want.

It feels like the paths and tracks you have been on have wasted your time and taken you far from where you want to be, but, you would still have learned something.

A spiritual road is always a difficult road to travel, what you learn and gain from traveling it can not always be understood while you are on it.

Fixing a puncture or trying to, will describe how you feel deflated or let down.

The lights on the bike can represent being guided, if they are not working you probably feel alone and without support and guidance, I say it again, sometimes, you have to go it alone and trust your own instincts, being able to find your way through obstacles when they arise on your own is a test of your own faith in yourself, trusting you are strong enough and wise enough to know when something isn't working and starting again on another path.

I seem to be going to a place of study, and I do not know my age, but I see many other (Unknown) people from 18 to about 30 years of age, so, I therefore presume that I am in that age range. The place of study seems extremely confusing and it is very difficult to find the correct room for the study period, and I have no idea as to what I am studying.

Life learning is always confusing, life is confusing, its frustrating and that's not only for the young, by the age of thirty we are supposed to have it all figured out, right? Know what we want to be, who we are, where we are going etc etc

Paths change, we change, we grow then regress, digress, grow some more, move forward, go back. We stagnate or move forward quickly, we move forward slowly and we hide under a rock as well as shine.

All these states of being are not reserved for the under 30s.

We never stop learning, if you don't know what you are studying in your dream its because you don't know what you are supposed to be learning. Don't worry about it, you'll learn something by just sitting under a rock. You are a student of life on earth.

I try to find the toilet at this place, and find that the toilets are being renovated and temporary toilets have been provided. Naturally, I find a urinal and can't seem to stop peeing, only to find a female standing behind me telling me to hurry up as she is busting to pee. (At a men's wall mounted urinal?)

These dreams seem to be repeating, although slightly different in minor detail.

My feelings whilst in the dream; Confused, frustrated, lack of rationality, disappointment, and lost.

The toilet part of this dream is probably symbolic of you trying to get rid of negativity that builds up, urine will actually link with water and emotions and getting rid of emotions that weigh you down and need to be expelled. Not being able to stop urinating happens when you don't get your emotions out and then when they do come out they don't seem to stop.

The fact that a lady is waiting behind you will probably link with the fact that as a man you feel that emotions are not a man thing, or you're confused that emotions are specifically for women?

Men and women both have a right to shed their emotions, it will be a relief if you do.

Trying to get to a place of study

I had a dream, the main theme has been recuring over the last few years, let me just say firstly, that I used to work in education but as I got older I grew complacent and tired of being in school for what seemed like my whole life. I used to joke I would leave and do something completely irrelevant and with no pressure or responsibilities.

Later, I had decided to move to the coast along with family and so at this time I also made the change and left education and worked part time doing a seemingly mundane and boring role which paid the bills.

I havent really ever regretted leaving my career in education but did feel sad that I was no longer helping young people with their mental health issues and mentoring them to achieve their goals regardless of the obstacles in their lives. This being my only regret, my dreams of going back to work all the time might perhaps be related to this one sadness and regret.

In my recuring dreams of being at work/school I am always skipping classes and missing days at work. I am totally aware in the dream that I don't want to go to school anymore and have failed my exams anyway. This being another feature that recurs. I know in my dreams that I have failed the course because I have not given in the work needed to pass. Now, when I say work it seems that in my dreams I am a student even though I am also a teacher at the school, so I take this to refer to the fact that in life we are always learning and are always both the student and the teacher.

The feelings of failure represented by failing exams and courses in my recuring dreams probably comes from not completing my career in education and the feeling that I let the young people down somehow. I was good at helping them cope with life but I wasn't so good at dealing with the way educational institutions care more about how the kids are dressed and behave than about teaching them the stuff they need to grow and learn. At face value it would be easy to assume that these dreams refer to my career but I have learned otherwise, and now understand that the dream creators often use our own earthly roles to help explain our life/educational journey too.

The many dreams I've had regards the educational journey have been numerous and like I said I am always aware in the dreams that I miss lots of time at school, I go home without telling anyone at work, skip lessons and can't or won't compete the work I am set to do. I fail the tests and exams. I wander out of lessons to go have a break and don't go back. Honestly, I am the worse student you could meet. When I'm the teacher in my dream school I literally cant find the class and wander around till break time. I am also aware in these dreams that I have had lots of time off work and I avoid the head teacher so he can't tell me off.

So lets assume the dream scenarios are hinting rather loudly that I am lazy, hate work, I don't know if I am the teacher or the student. I procrastinate and cannot seem to finish what I start. I fear failure and my effort score is zero. I'll also avoid the boss because I know ill be in trouble for being all these things

Actually in my work life I am not like this at all, I work hard, never have a day off and won't leave till I have finished the job at hand. So what's going on here?

My most recent dream, the one which has prompted me to write this, might help to explain how our dreams reflect our unconscious feelings about living and learning. None of us find it easy here, earth is hard work, its boring, painful, ugly, I could go on and on. I am also totally aware that the opposite of all those things are true. Life is also beautiful, loving and should be cherished. All of us share the same life journey and the obstacles and pains are hopefully scattered evenly between us.

I hope you can find some comparison with your own learning dreams and understand that none of us know the answers to the tests we face, we can only negotiate whatever we come up against and do our best to work through it.

The dream began on a coach (the shared journey) we were going on a school trip, a visit to a large university. (lets call this place life/Earth) We get there, there are lots and lots of us, and we go into this huge auditorium, we are waiting for someone to give a speech and a tour of the place. We wait and wait but no one comes, so we get bored and go explore ourselves. Some people still wait to be told what to do, and some of us are so bored we decide to explore on our own.

We walk to what seems to be an exhibition and we sit on benches to watch. There are many students doing different things, some are painting, some are acting out scenes, some are singing and dancing. Other students are sitting studying, other are doing really difficult calculations.

As I watch the scenes play out I become aware that what I'm watching are people participating in life. I think about the fact that they are all 'creating' they are very artistic and their main goal is to create something out of the skills they have. Like I said their skills and talents were numerous.

About this time I also realized that earth is a place for people/souls who wish to create anything, happiness, sadness, good feelings bad feelings, art, sciences, math etc. The main aim was not really about learning it was about experiencing and creating experiences. Earth was an artists paradise, it was created for us to be able to see what we can make out of our own imagination.

In my dream I understood that I had got it wrong, it didn't matter what I learned or didn't learn. It didn't matter if I failed or succeeded at something, it didn't really matter if I finished what I started. The actual journey itself was creative, regardless of what happened during the journey. Participating still mattered more than the outcome. I had always believed I needed to succeed, to win or improve myself. Be a better person, be kinder, be helpful, stick to the path, look after everyone else around me. Always failing in my dream school

I decided I wanted to leave this university of life and I started upon my journey home, always hard in a dream to find your way home. I tried to find the train station with no shoes on my feet. (Typical symbolism for the feeling of vulnerability being naked or bare) The station itself represents the connection between phases or the beginning/ending of a stage of life. I was trying to get home so I guess I wanted to return to the safety of what I know best.

Maybe its the souls yearning to get back to our real home, earth being a long way from there.

The station in my dream provided the usual obstacles for me to get through, the turnstile was stuck, the attendant wanted a ticket I didn't have. The person in front of me was stalling, not wanting to go through it. I told him we never want to go through stuff and the best thing to do is just go. I pushed him through. I told him its harder thinking about it than just doing it.

When I did get through the turnstile it led to a shear drop. I just jumped knowing it was the only way home. The train was somewhere and I knew I had to catch it.

Then started the process of going through tight spaces and squeezing myself into small holes just to get on the train.

The obstacles in life always present like this in our dreams, to start a new journey you have to first negotiate a way through all the crap on the current one.

When I actually got on the train I realized it wasn't going where I wanted to go. Well of course it wasn't the next part of my journey is unknow as yet.

To sum up I would say these dreams refer to my own attitude to life, Just get through it the best you can. I'm at that stage in life when I don't want to participate in the tests, trials and tribulations that come my way. Being unable to escape them I just get them done as quick as possible. Perhaps I am supposed to understand that they are not tests to endure but are just experiences to experience.

A dream about a new job, and being told I have cancer

2022-01-28T15:45:00.003-08:00

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I was in a new job, everyone there was old, a lot of men were in the higher jobs like the CEO and all the managers. The women that worked there seemed nice but were all in their own click.

They had a doctor and a nurse there and the doctor was doing a test on me, he said to the nurse that he had finished the test, he pointed out two spots on my back and my elbows. He said I had cancer! Then the nurse went on to tell me in a rather horrible way that I had very bad breath, apparently the security man on the front desk smelt it when I had come in that morning. She also said my hair was greasy and she was getting ready to send me to hospital.

Lets take into consideration your age when doing this translation as I know you are past working age.

A new job often translates as a new stage of life, new circumstances, new opportunities etc. When you are past working age we can assume this will relate to your new role in life rather than in your career. A job can also be referred to as a spiritual role that you play, which can mean new spiritual learning or experiences.

We equate being old with experience, and the male dominance in the work place although hopefully outdated now, will also be a hint at the older viewpoint of looking up to your elders and respecting their experience. In days gone by when you were working, it was the norm that the higher managerial positions were held by men, this probably always bothered you and you have found it hard to be comfortable with the inequality.

All the male characters in your dream play the dominant roles, the bosses, the doctor, the security man, and in contrast, the women play the nasty roles, being clicky and excluding you, and the nurse being nasty. I don't think you would have liked having a female boss either and I think you would have fared better being your own boss to be honest. All these things give the impression that you have always disliked authority and have resented being told what to do by people you didn't respect. Understandably of course, as no one wants to be controlled by a character who doesn't deserve respect.

Since retirement you have been your own boss, which has suited you well, as you have been in control of every element of your life. Now, your dream has another component to it which relates to your health and this is where you lack control. The doctor being someone of authority has diagnosed you with cancer, which would be a situation whereby you cannot control what your body does, everything would be out of your control again.

Getting a diagnosis through a dream doesn't necessarily mean you will get the same diagnosis in your real life, rather it's hinting that you feel as though your health and body are taking away your quality of life, bad health can mean that you feel as though you cant live a good life because your body just won't let you. Therefore, you are not in control once again. You are powerless to over-rule your body, cancer takes away someone's power to live, it is used in dream language to describe a situation whereby something else is taking control and you are required to fight and take back control in order to live a better life.

The security guard character could have been used to represent your security and how you feel in regards to your health and your security, he tells the doctor that you have bad breath. This is quite funny but it does have its base in fact, did you know that diabetics have been known to have pear like fruity breath and many other health conditions can be spotted by the breath, animals are often good at noticing this. Also, our breath can be used to hint at what we are taking into a our body is not very good for us, therefore, it creates the bad odour.

As we have spoken, and I know you are diabetic I will summarise by saying that your dream is urging you to take control of your diet in order to improve your health, do not give over your control and accept that it's all down hill from here. You need to fight your urges. xxx

Dreaming about Fair ground rides

Fairground rides

(See Fairground in F)

(See Claustrophobic Dreams)

"I keep having dreams that are detailed and seem long, but I forget a lot of the details. I do remember that every time this dream happens I’m getting in a carnival ride that traps me, or I'm in an enclosed water slide. This adds to my anxiety in the dream. Why am I always having fun when it happens?"

Fairground rides are often used in dreams to describe the times when your journey is supposed to be fun, but in your case you allow worries to take over and spoil the enjoyment.

Water rides will be used to incorporate your emotions and the way in which you deal with them, the ups and downs you experience emotionally decide how much you can actually enjoy this time in your life.

Any type of ride will symbolise the journey, be it in a car, train or even a fairground- ride and describe either an individual situation or an ongoing theme you are faced with and in this case I would suggest that the ongoing theme is of anxiety and stress.

Being anxious when you don't really have anything to be anxious about means that you are missing out on enjoying life. I know it's easier said than done, but don't let anxiety take over your life, deal with the anxiety itself rather than the problems that come along on your journey because problems will always come along.

Rides that go round and around typically describe the scenario of repeated patterns of behaviour or thoughts.

Rides that are on tracks relate to keeping you on track or to staying on track when you go off course.

Dreaming about 'things' crawling under my skin

2020-05-24T03:24:00.006-07:00

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I had the most horrible dream, I noticed that things were crawling under the skin on my right hand, I watched them walking around under my skin and it made me feel sick, I thought that I had better go to the doctor to see if he knew what it was. For some reason, I couldn't get in to see the doctor but meanwhile, I noticed a gap under my nail and it looked like something was trying to crawl out. I watched as this black fly type thing came out from under my nail, there were still others crawling under the skin on my hand and every now and then another one would come out from under my nail. I kept telling myself it was a dream and to stop panicking but then I would think 'but this isn't a dream because it's too real'. Whenever one of these things came out I would kill it by squashing it, at one stage my hand looked like it was going rotten, but then it repaired. All I wanted was to stop these things from being under my skin.

This dream seems to be referring to what goes on under the surface of your own facade. (deceptive outward appearance) It could represent the things that you let get under your skin, and therefore the fly type insects describe situations/people who are negative, annoying or that you just don't like. In contrast to this, they could also be describing the things about yourself that you don't like or trust. You kill them as soon as they emerge and maybe this is because you do not allow your own negativity in its many forms to survive on the outside. You quash any negative part of yourself to create the perfect person, perhaps you have ideas that don't allow for being bad or acting out. Because the symbolism seems to be linked with your right hand I would say this also links with the work you do and your creative side. It may also link with writing. You seem to be acknowledging your inner darker side in this dream and the rotten bits you don't want to deal with will come out if you want them to or not, better out than in I say, and let's face it we all have them, no one is perfect and you shouldn't expect yourself to be either.

The reason I feel that the dream refers to your own inner demons is that the flies were 'in you' and trying to get out, rather than the other way round.

Dreams that might relate to Coronavirus

People have been asking me about their dreams more now than ever before, and lots of their dreams seem to relate to the Coronavirus pandemic, the theme of the dreams differ but the overall messages are very similar. Some of them are disaster dreams, although these were more prevalent a month ago, some have been journey dreams, incorporating roads, obstacles, and crashes. Some dreams have been bad weather and disaster dreams and these types of dreams have often included great storms, giant waves, catastrophes, and invasions of locusts or bugs.

Death and dying dreams have also become prevalent at this time, probably because of the fear attached to the global pandemic, fear dreams happen when you need to face your fears and move forward, these dreams are designed to help you do that. Fear can be your enemy far more than a pandemic can. Trying to negotiate a new way of living can trigger a death dream, the old way of life has died and a new way of life is born. Dying dreams encourage you to negotiate your fears about loss and change, remember that the fear of loss and change do not necessarily describe a physical loss, they most likely describe the situation we are all in now and the death dreams are about coming to terms with change and a new way of living. The death dream is probably about the loss of our old lives and the acceptance of the new life we will undoubtedly face in the future.

Other dreams scenarios and symbols have been new and unexperienced before. I had a couple of dreams last month where, in the dreams, I couldn't cough, people were telling me I needed to cough but no matter what I did I was unable too. At the time I had no idea what those dreams related to and I had never experienced that kind of dream before, on first thought I wondered if it linked with my health, but I have been well and still am. The dream makes total sense to me now, it wasn't about me but rather about the many people around the world who are in that position when they are on ventilators. I never knew then that people on ventilators are unable to cough even though their lungs need nothing more than to clear the build-up of congestion, medical carers have to remove it manually to help save their lives. These new types of dream symbols are prevalent because the Coronavirus pandemic has not been experienced before, not on such a wide scale, and therefore dream symbols have changed to try and explain and describe a wide variety of new experiences that collective society is going to experience.

Dream creations are very clever in my experience, they include as much detail as they can, but a short sharp warning is sometimes all that is needed to describe something traumatic. Dreams are truthful as well, they don't dance around an issue or a problem, they don't lie to us and we cannot argue with them. Warning dreams are especially to the point, they are not created for entertainment purposes, they are created to explain the hard facts, which is why they often describe experiences that scare us. Dramatic events in dreams usually represent big changes in our life which require us to find strength and the will to fight our own fears about change. We are not going to be able to help other people with their fears, and help face and fight a global pandemic if we can't face our own basic fears.

Disaster dreams that many people are experiencing now are often filled with tsunamis and giant waves, we know that water nearly always describes our emotions in 'dream language' and can translate the immensity of emotions that have risen and 'washed up' by the effects of the new virus. Tsunamis, when they hit can destroy lives and change the foundations of the way our lives are structured, therefore this is the perfect symbol to describe the situation we all find ourselves in as a collective. Dreaming about a tsunami usually relates to our individual life getting turned upside down but when many people dream about the same thing we can assume it relates to a collective experience. I can confirm that many of the dreams I translated months ago described Tsunamis and I did wonder about the significance of this and also entertained the idea that it was a collective tsunami of emotional turmoil, but there was no way I or anyone else could have predicted the true devastation that we would succumb.

Other types of dream scenarios that have been very common at this time are about; hoards of locusts, maggots everywhere, or flying bugs, which the dreamer can't escape, and in the current collective crises these dreams are self-explanatory. People have also been dreaming of 'things' coming out of the sky, things that they had never seen before, this description matches perfectly with what we are all experiencing now, dealing with things we haven't had to face before.

Locust
These link with biblical stories which describe a time when plagues and epidemics are prevalent, the scale and scope can be described by how many locusts there are in your dream, they will also represent things or people that are plaguing you, or worrying you.

Alien Dreams
Aliens are often used in dreams to represent the unknown, a new situation is alien to you; these dreams are about getting a better understanding of what we are dealing with as we haven't had an experience like this before. This dream can also be spiritually translated and represent the journey into the unknown and the discoveries that you make while on that journey.

Being abducted by aliens simply explains how you feel as though your life has been taken over by outside forces and unfamiliar circumstances have taken over your current set up, this situation is unique, and you need to adapt quickly before you are consumed by the negative fear which is created by dealing with the unknown. We only fear the things that we do not understand!

Asteroids and Crashing Comets
(Alien above/UFO)
What's passing through your life and the after-effects
You are dealing with unknown aspects of life which you haven’t had any experience of before. Events that can have a major impact on your life.
Unusual circumstances!

Attack
(Battle)
Fight to win
Being attacked in a dream is not often an omen of imminent violence but can be used to describe a situation that is attacking your own defenses, it could be an attack of the nerves where your own fears are attacking your strength and creating weakness. An attack could be used to describe an illness where your immune system is under attack.
An external attack would be where other people or other situations are pushing their will onto you; they are attacking your integrity, invading your space, or ruining your peace and security.

Avalanche
(Weather)
Emotional turmoil
An avalanche represents a sudden onslaught of feelings and emotions that dominate everything else around you. Perhaps you feel as though problems are building up on top of you and you must escape before they push you over the edge.
The coldness will represent cold feelings, and cold is sometimes used to describe fear, and ice is usually used to represent rigidness.
Snow is often symbolic for pent up feelings, therefore a sudden avalanche is obviously a release of all of those things.
Overpowering feelings that create instability.
A new level footing will eventually be found.

Bacteria and Viruses
These types of symbols in dream language are often used to represent negative contamination from outside sources, so these types of symbols might be prevalent in your dreams right now.

Deserted towns
A recurring dream I have been having is where I'm walking around my town and the streets are absolutely void of people. Every time I have this dream the streets are always empty but the roads always look as though they have been sprinkled with rain.
These types of dreams describe the isolation and loneliness people are experiencing and water is also symbolic of the emotions that are linked with this.

Earthquakes
Disruption and destructiveness often bring about a shift of consciousness as the world changes around you, you must change as well. The level that you are on will be shaken-up and you must work towards finding a newly balanced life.

With all these seemingly negative dreams being experienced at the moment it might help you to read the dream that someone had very recently, it incorporates many different obstacles and personal challenges which we're all experiencing, but it has a message of hope and change for all of us. At a time when we need to have some reassurance regards the future, this dream, although simple in its creation and delivery, expresses our hope for the future, when we have learned to live with love and compassion. We are in the springtime of our spiritual development, a time where we are all preoccupied with what we have and what we look like, and soon, thankfully, we will enter the summertime of our spiritual journey, through adjustment and experience, things will be different for young people especially, they can enjoy a time of love and warmth where there is less injustice in the world, where they work together to overcome problems and issues that they face. A world where they know that division and anger accomplish nothing. It will not be comfortable making changes to get there, the road we walk will have obstacles and pain. There is a need to scale down the way we live, the take-take-take attitude has damaged the environment and the spiritual wellbeing of our society who have forgotten that the basics in life are all we need, and all we really want by our side at times of great sorrow is our family and friends, times like now will help you to remember that only love for each other is worth anything of value.
The builders of our new tomorrow are already creating the new path towards being kind to each other and creating a new city of wealth and understanding, this won't come from what we have but rather from what we have learned and what we do with that knowledge. The older generation has paved the way for us, they are our biggest loss at this time and we should thank them for preparing our new future. They have tried and tried to make us treat each other better, but we were too busy on our iPhones to listen.

This elderly lady told me about her dream:

I came out of a house into a street and as I'm walking along there were shops, they were not big superstores, they were small shops packed full of goods, they were beautiful little shops, someone told me that all the shops were open because it was spring.
I was pushing a baby in a big old fashioned pram and I wanted to explore the shops and the old city which was huge with roads going everywhere.
There was one particular building that caught my eye, so I went over the road to get a better look, the reason I noticed the building was because it was all black, like you would see in the old cotton mill towns. It was a beautiful building with lots of character even though it was black, it was also like a church with lovely windows and tall chimneys. After I had looked at the details of that building I went to explore more shops, and I went into another one to look at shoes, the shoes were not appropriate for me, they were odd or didn't fit, they were all unsuitable.
When I came out the shoe shop I was trying to cross a really big junction, it was like a six-way junction and there were cars and lorries everywhere, I was still pushing the pram and I thought the only way I can get across the road is to stop the traffic. The drivers all cursed me and shouted at me but I managed to get across the road with the pram and my baby. Once across the road, I came to another wide road and on the other side of that was a brand new development, it was a beautiful new city, there were workers still laying the road, builders were building new buildings and shops, everything was so beautiful and new, the sun was shining. I woke up not knowing if I got to the new city or not, but I know I got the child there.

A dream about crows pecking me

2020-02-25T09:46:00.009-08:00

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

The dream starts with me sleeping outside my grandma's driveway in the backyard. I went to move my left arm down by my side and I felt something there, but it hobbled away and I felt something warm on my leg and when I sat up and looked at it I saw it was blood. Then beside me I saw 2 crows pecking at my leg. One had a bloody beak and I shooed him away. Then I got up and walked to the backdoor to go in the house. The crows started to follow me in the house, and the one with a bloody beak I kept outside. The clean crow flew in with me, but I left it in a different room. As I investigate my leg, I see a large wound, but it had stopped bleeding. In the house, I'm now looking for someone to fix up my leg. After searching I find a woman who I think is my mom and she goes looking for medical supplies, after a minute or so she returns with a box of stuff and goes through it. She finds gauze and bandages, and some jell stuff. She rips open my pants where the wound is, and I see 3 wounds. One is a small surface wound from the pecks the 2nd is like a hole that has another hole inside it where it was bleeding from. And the 3rd was a large open gash where the flesh was not closed. The woman with the medical supplies fixes up the 2nd wound and demands money for the supplies. I get annoyed and leave to find more supplies. After looking around I find some stuff and dress up the 3rd wound to keep it all held together. I wrap it in gauze then a bandage. Then I woke up.

Here goes, I think you sleep outside your grandma's house because it's with her you feel most at peace, (is she still around?) as being in the backyard suggests she isn't able to provide you with the support you need any more, you feel like you've been left out in the cold, have you heard the saying "I'd give my right arm to have someone back?" well perhaps she was supportive and protective of you although you didn't rely on her too much, just when you needed her, maybe she was by your side if and when you needed her to be. (she was your left arm) The thing that hobbled away which we can assume was a crow managed to hurt you without your knowledge, so shall we say that the crow symbolizes a woman, who hurt you without you even realizing it was happening? The two crows were probably used to represent two people who peck at you or nag constantly, and this constant pecking wears you down and has created damage to your ability to make progress in a new relationship. The crow with the bloody beak you left outside, this explains how you shut out the person who caused you damage, you let one crow in, the one with the clean beak but you left them in another room, so there are walls between you, the walls represent the wall you have built around you to protect yourself.

You inspect the damage done by the crow, the large wound left by their pecking, (the damage left when someone puts you down all the time or brings you down) The blood has gone, which means this happened in the past and you have healed a bit, obviously not completely or it wouldn't still be prevalent in your dreams now, maybe past relationships have tainted your ability to understand that a new relationship will not be the same as an old relationship. Maybe you are defensive and think that as soon as someone says something to you it is criticism.

In the house, you are looking for someone to repair the damage to your leg, but really you are looking for a person who will help you heal from past hurt. You can’t expect a person to do that for you, you have to do that yourself, a new relationship should not be based on what they can do for you, no one can make you feel better about yourself, only you can do that. If you enter a new relationship it should be from ground zero with no expectations of them, good or bad. Yes, people can help us feel good about ourselves but until you feel good about yourself you are not ready for a positive relationship. Heal past wounds yourself, don't think that every relationship you have will be with someone who treats you badly. And don't expect anyone else to mend you, it's not their job to do that, it's yours!

You said yourself that in your dream you find a woman who you think is your mum, you are looking for a replacement mum or grandmother who will care for you and mend your wounds, women of today do idolize their children and grandchildren, I'm guilty of that, but for a loving relationship to work, you will have to acknowledge that a partner isn't going to idolize you and cater for your every whim. You must re-learn what real good lasting relationships are about because your past experiences have messed up your expectations.

A partner will not love you in the same way as your mum or gran, they won't wipe your arse for you and put a bandage on your wounds but equally, they should never put you down either or make you feel bad about yourself. They should be your equal and you both treat each other with love and respect.

At the end of your dream when the woman/nurse/mum wants payment for dressing your wounds you get irritated; this is because you feel that women always want something in return for whatever they do for you. Then you decide to finish it yourself, good for you because like I said it's you who must get over the past hurts yourself, stop expecting other people to do it for you, it’s not their job. You have been hurt by relationships; everyone has! If you don't put it aside, your future relationships will suffer the same types of scenarios.

Establish a thought process that means you are not looking for a replacement mother/grandmother or someone to make you better. Forget past relationships because they have absolutely no bearing on future relationships unless you keep choosing the same type of person that is. Your dream is trying to help you break previous patterns and re-learn what a relationship should be like. No pecking at each other, no power struggles, no mending each other, no blaming each other, just loving and supporting each other. You will find the right person when you stop designing who you want.

Spiral Dreams

2019-12-08T17:09:00.007-08:00

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Spirals

Spirals and Fractals YouTube
(Energy and Vibration)
The spiral effect is a process by which we think we are travelling in a circular motion, i.e. going around and around the same ground or over and over the same learning, this is just a perception from your own viewpoint, in actual fact, you are participating in the spiral effect and you are making progress.

Life is about creating experience, for yourself, and for the people who you share the experience with, progression is gained from any experience, positive, negative or neutral. You could sit at home and do nothing at all and this would still provide a profound experience, one which if viewed from afar or from a higher perspective was still progressive.

Therefore, upward spirals help to explain the notion of moving up when you feel that you are going round and round and over the same old ground. People often comment that they feel like they are getting nowhere, the spiral dream is helping to remind you that you are making progress, it’s just that you only view the positive movement as progress, the spiral effect helps to explain how inertia or lack of movement is still an experience, one with equal validity and value.

The downward spiral is often used to describe backsliding or reverse movement, but negative actions, although abhorred and detested by most people also create an experience, we always learn something from negative experiences, when we have a positive experience we rarely sit back and ask what we've learned from it, but we always ask this question when we experience something negative. Asking why something has happened or why me? is answered easily with hindsight. If you put your hand in the fire you learned that it will get burned, so you don’t do it again.

The overall point is that all experiences including positives, negatives and even neutral experiences provide towards progression in the long run. Most people get caught up in the ‘now’ and the spiral dream whether it be a staircase, a slide or even a spiral pattern might relate to the way your life is structured now, but you must also remember the bigger picture. What you learn on the journey is important for later, it creates a new you, one with a wider more varied experience, someone who is experienced.

Where you are situated on a spiral, is only a matter of the ‘now’ perspective, your dream can be prompting you to be aware of the direction you are taking, but do not let the current situation be a confirmation of who you really are, and don't think that this is a representation of where you are situated on your spiritual path because that path has no beginning and no end.
If you think about a spiral staircase it can help you to understand a situation whereby you cant see around the next corner, this is scary because you literally don't know what's coming next.
Spiraling out of control?
The ups and downs of life!
It seems like you are going over the same ground!

Dreaming about Energy

Energy
(Aura /Bank /Cables )
(Machinery)
Vibration the creator! Watch on YouTube
To understand energy in its many different forms you must first consider that the whole universe is devised from energy. Vibration assists energy to create everything, energy is carried in waves throughout the universe, as it vibrates it becomes a self-creating energy source, therefore, it is infinite!

Vibration is balanced and/or chaotic and gives rise to the creation of life itself, from the smallest forms of life to the greater more complex life forms.
Humans can create positive and negative energy in the way that they think and react, the environment or the people around you also create a negative/positive vibration which models surroundings to be balanced or chaotic. Because we draw our energy from the environment it depends on what we have put in as to what we will get back. This is where the idea comes from about what you give out is what you get back. If you create positive energy by being positive and doing and thinking positively then the energy you get back is restorative, it recharges and re-energises you with positive energy. Thinking negatively and doing negative things creates a negative vibration that absorbs the same from the environment and from the energy stores of the people who are in your vicinity.
Most people balance precariously between the two states of vibration and swing naturally too and throw between being positive and negatively inclined. This information is important when you translate your dreams because the energy that you have available to you at any given time will depend on your own state of mind and the way you allow negativity to overpower the positive energy vibration. If for example, you wanted to make progress with a work project, its success will be dependent on the available energy stores from yourself and the people who are there to help you, the energy would need to be a positive one to be creative. Negative vibrational energy does not produce positive creativity or positive outcomes.
Your dreams can help to explain this process and let you know if the correct energy is available for you to use for the things that you want to do. You are the creator of the energy source and you can make adjustments at any time to address an imbalance, but it will mean changing the way that you think, and this is not always easy because of the energy created by other people, therefore, you must learn to block negative energy coming in from others.
In dream language, many symbols could be used to represent your own energy levels and/or the energy that you attract back to yourself. The symbols used to express energy are ones which you will recognise, for example, petrol and diesel are the energy sources used as symbols when you wish to make progress, the real energy source is you of course.

Gas and electricity provide a symbol for the energy needed for your home life, your home comforts, and your right to feel loved, which is often described in dream language by warmth, which of course is also provided by these types of energy sources. Incidentally, light is seen as a source of positive energy and a dream where there is a problem with electricity or light is often trying to tell you about an issue with your positivity towards something. When the light has gone out it means something has lost its sparkle, or that it can't grow anymore, this can represent many different situations or relationship issues.
The sun provides another energy source that revitalises and instigates growth, it is often used in dreams to help you understand how you feel about your relationships or any situation that needs input to create growth.
Nuclear energy is powerful but it comes with the negative consequence of leaving waste, so in dreams, it can be used to represent when power and energy have consequences that will linger for a very long time if not used correctly.
Your own aura can help to describe your energy levels and the colours and vibrancy give you information about your spiritual and physical well being, as well as your moods and feelings.
Unseen energy forces literally help you to understand the hidden forces that can have power over you, even though you can’t see them, things like negative entities, attitudes, thoughts, and ideas which have been developed from your culture, religion, or family upbringing. All these types of invisible forces have power over the way that you think and the current choices that you make, these things affect you even though you cannot physically see them. Learning to control and recognise negative thinking will help you gain control over any deep routed idea or belief which is the result of nurture.

Abacus

(Calculator)

Balance and harmony

A counting frame could be used in dreams to bring your attention to the things in your life that need to be assessed or added up. The beads or counters can represent time, money, or your own personal tools and skills which you have stored away and not used. The beads are framed so the idea here is one of restriction and having ideas without the freedom to express them, for example, having money stored away that cannot be accessed when it is really needed, or to have talents that can’t be used because of circumstances.

Black and white beads can symbolise the positive and negative aspects of a situation or help you to think about balance and harmony. Colours usually represent having a good mixture of skills and talents, they might be used to describe different lessons and challenges that you have dealt with that have structured your life into what you see today.

Abandonment

(Lost)

Your fears
To dream of being abandoned highlights your fears of rejection and loneliness, sometimes, when you are feeling alone with your problems this filters through as an abandonment dream. This type of dream is used to help the dreamer come to terms with coping alone and to face the unknown in the knowledge that strength comes from within and it is not something that other people can provide you with.

Learning to be your own teacher?

Feeling lost?

Abdomen
(Body/Pregnancy)

Your power and energy

In spiritual symbolism, the abdomen is viewed as the centre of your power source and spiritual energy. Any problems with your abdomen in a dream suggest that there are blockages in that energy. If there is something in your tummy, like a baby for example then this will link with your ability to give life to a project and for it to grow into something of value.

The abdomen is often used as a symbol to describe pent up feelings that you hold inside, they might need to be released so that you can move forward in a way that will help you feel more relaxed and contented with your life, you just need a good clear-out to get rid of the crap that's been building up.

Aborigine
(Australia below)

The spiritual journey
These indigenous people link the dreamer with their own basic instincts and perhaps with needing to spend time alone to consider one’s own personal journey.
Going walkabouts?

A spiritual journey!

Abortion
(Miscarriage)

Lack of growth and guilt

In dream symbolism, if a baby is symbolic for something that has the potential to grow and develop, something that if nurtured could be carried through to completion or success, then you can understand why abortion is sometimes used to represent when you decide (or other people decide) that the time is not right to carry on with the plans that you previously made.

Babies are often symbolic of a personal adventure in dream language, perhaps work-related, any situation where you must gather all your energy and creativity so that your desires can become everything that you want them to be. Therefore, in dreams, abortion is occasionally used as a symbol to explain how something can’t be carried forward to full-term, for numerous and varied reasons.

Maybe the time just isn't right, you may or may not have known this when you started out with your idea, perhaps you have decided not to proceed for the time being. It is regrettable and sad and no doubt you will spend considerable amounts of time and energy wondering if your decisions are the right ones.

Dreaming of abortion is unusual because there are many other ways to translate a message about not being unable to achieve the things that you previously wanted, or when you have changed your mind about a course of action.
I guess it's down to the individual and the type of message you need to hear. This type of symbolism will probably connect with guilt at ending something that had the potential to become 'something' if it was nurtured and cared for. The end of a relationship could be shown this way or the forceful end to your previously held dreams.

Abscess
(Wound)

Negativity
An abscess will usually represent collective negative energy in dream symbolism, which will eventually need to be attended to, it will require care to promote healing and restoration. An abscess gives us the feeling of something that is festering inside or eating away at us. Emotional pain and anxiety which needs you to instigate healing or cut away at the source of a problem if you want things to get better.

An abscess in the mouth will probably link with losing teeth, so look-up losing teeth as well. It will be to do with communication and with allowing things to fester, this will eventually lead to a loss.

Accidents
(Crash/Journey)

Obstacle dream
Any type of accident in a dream rarely foretells of an actual accident but more likely this symbol is used to describe a situation that happens by accident and not a planned event. (You didn’t plan for this)

It helps you to remember that circumstances are out of your control and you can only watch as dramas reach a conclusion. This doesn't mean that the accident you witnessed in the dream is going to play itself out literally in your waking life, dreams often describe events symbolically. An example of this is when you dream of traffic accidents, these types of dreams will often relate to the life journey you are on or the shared journey, collisions can relate to the clashing of personalities or ideas.
Collisions can represent the colliding of different personalities and this can affect the journey you are on together. It can mean that you try to or avoid confrontation, therefore the accident describes a time when you cannot avoid the inevitable.

Seeing other people in an accident helps you come to terms with your own lack of power over them, as much as you want to protect them and keep them safe from harm you cannot protect them from themselves or others. This type of dream helps you understand how powerless you feel when things go wrong, it also happens to people who worry a lot. It can be viewed as a face your fears dream where you must harden up and understand the term "What will be, will be." You can’t prevent people from getting hurt, the hurt is often represented in dreams as a physical pain but often the hurt is internal and emotional, this type of dream describes the type of suffering that instigates personal growth.

You can’t protect someone from learning or experiencing life.
A mistake!

Someone is an accident waiting to happen?

Ace

(Games)

Positivity
If you see an ace card in your dream, then you are being shown a successful outcome for a chance that you take.

Aces are used to symbolise positive people.

The hand you are dealt is a positive one.

Accelerator/Brakes
Journey Dream
These types of symbols will help to explain how fast you can go in the direction you have chosen, it can be used to describe a lack of energy, or when too much effort is needed for you to get where you want to be, you might wonder if it's worth the energy you have to put in to something. It can also express the need for you to 'get a move on' and put your foot down a bit, depending how the accelerator or breaks are used in your dream.
It can highlight when there is an issue with stopping and starting as it can help you understand that you need to control your own actions and behaviour.
Putting your foot down to go fast in a car in a dream is a way for you to think about if you are going too fast and need to slow down or if you need to be more productive or creative with your time, crashes and accidents happen when you rush things. Maybe you need to put the brakes on your plans or on your bad habits. The applicable symbolism should be explained in the dream, depending on the overall dream scenario.

Acid

(Poison)

Negativity
Acid can be used to represent a problem that can slowly eat away at you; it can cause hurt and damage unless you act or steer clear of negative people.

Acid can sometimes be symbolic of bitter words spoken; as in an acid tongue.

Corrosive!

Acne
(Skin)

Annoying stuff
Acne is a symbol that will link with your own personal insecurities and how you feel you are perceived by your peers; it can also represent stress and pressure. Time is the greatest healer and learning to let the small stuff go over your head will help. Spots can also be used to explain small issues that come up and go down quickly.

Long term minor issues can be resolved with effort.

Accomplish

(Energy)
(Exams/Obstacles/Tests)
(Tidying up and work Dream

Obstacle dream

This might be an obstacle dream that requires you to find ways to overcome your own personal obstacles. Trying to accomplish anything in a dream is usually quite difficult, these types of dreams fall into the obstacle dream category where you must try to complete a task and overcome the obstacles that you are presented with. The obstacles will be symbolic of a life challenge that you are faced with, the challenge itself could be anything that requires your strength and determination.

If you experience the same dream scenario repeatedly then you haven’t yet accomplished what you need to,

If you link the individual test or task that you are trying to accomplish in your dream with a personal challenge you can get an idea as to what the dream is referring to. It is not always possible to complete a task or complete challenges because they are also reliant on other people to play their part. It might be that it isn’t the right time to accomplish what you are trying to do, and you will need to return to it later, this dream stands to help you understand this message.

If in your dream you manage to accomplish what you are trying to do then you can use this information towards being secure in the knowledge that you can now achieve your goals, whatever they are.

Sometimes, we just can't accomplish what we are trying to do in our dream, this happens so that we remember life is more about the experience than what we can accomplish, every experience is equally important and valid. Failure to achieve can be helpful on the road to success, learning to accept failure can be described this way in your dream.

Do you have the energy to accomplish what you want to do?

Acorn

(Tree)

Growth and potential
Acorns often represent spiritual growth and personal fulfilment. Ideas can also be described using acorns in dreams, from little acorns, big oaks trees grow, worth remembering if you have been considering starting a new venture or have a small business idea.

Acorns are often used to describe development and achievement and if it links with your career or a personal relationship you will have to decide.

An Idea!

Development!

Actor/Actress
(Stage/Television/Theatre)

(A dream about a celebrity)

Personalities and characters
The spiritual symbolism of an actress or actor will link with the notion that we are the actors of our own play, our earthly life is thought of as the stage where we act out all our desires and challenges to see how we will respond in any given circumstance. Part of our character is built from what we experience while on earth, how we react and play out the many distinct roles we have created for ourselves and others depend on the conscious choices that we make every day.

Our personal circumstances are not completely reliant on other people and it helps to remember that, you cannot really blame other people for the state of your life, you have allowed things to develop. Just like an actor, you can 'react' differently to create a new scene, you really are the producer of your own story.

In dream language being an actor or an actress simply reminds us that we have choices and can direct our play in any way we want to. Freewill ensures that we can choose how to play our part, choose how our character should react, making conscious choices that we can live with rather than living a life scripted by other people.

If a famous actor/actress turns up in your dream they are being used to represent a character who you can relate to, maybe they have character traits you should notice or develop in yourself. Remember they might be symbolic for someone else around you, negative characters can be described to you in this way. The dreamer must try to think about who the famous character is portraying in their life and what the message is about. Consider that sometimes famous people play a bad character but in real life, they are a good person, so you might be dealing with someone who has two different characters rolled into one, or many different facets to their personality. Also, remember that we are all inherently good but we must play a bad part sometimes.

A celebrity is a person who is celebrated, so this type of dream can be symbolic for a person in your life who has positive attributes and could be a role model.

Acupuncture
(Injection/Needle/Pins)

Stress
Pins and needles can describe getting ‘needled’ or annoyed with someone. Pins can also help to remind you of the importance of getting your point across. Acupuncture is used as a symbol when you need to find an alternative way to get rid of the pressure and stress that builds up inside you, it needs to be released safely.

Acrobat

(Energy)
(Dancing/Gymnast)

Finding balance
An acrobat can represent agility and balance of the mind, depending on how well you perform the gymnastics in your dream. This type of symbol could be used to explain how you are expected to pull off amazing feats with the energy that you have available to you, it also helps you to acknowledge that some people expect too much from you.

The moves that you must implement to complete a challenge.

Are you bending over backward to please someone else?

Clinging on to the high bar with no net below you?

Have you got the energy to perform and overcome your personal challenges?

Adam and Eve
(People)

Characteristics
Adam and Eve represent life’s lessons and all that there is to learn regards relationships, temptations, and growth as a person. This will relate to something that you need to learn and experience for your own spiritual growth and development. Adam is viewed as the first man and can be used in dreams to symbolise the first love. Eve often portrays the temptress and the first woman that you loved.

Adhesive
(Glue)

Your bonds
This sticky substance can help to describe the bonds that keep people together and the strength of the glue in your dream is important and can explain the strength of the bonds that you have with other people, or perhaps the strength of your ties to the past.

Glue can also explain being in a sticky situation!

Are you feeling stuck?

Addiction

Dependency
Any addiction is used as a symbol to show you that you are dependent on something or someone and this is detrimental to your overall well-being. Sometimes addiction is present in your life and it manifests into a dream to make you aware of a problem that you are ignoring, maybe because you do not feel ready to let something go or because you are close to someone who has addiction problems. This dream will recur until the addiction is accepted or dealt with.
Addiction dreams use symbolism like being unable to use the brakes in a car to show how you are unable to stop what you are doing, this way the dream is expressing your lack of control over your life. Addiction is one of life’s cruelest obstacles and can only be overcome when a person is ready. Mostly, addiction dream symbolism will link with an inability to take control of a situation and if addiction is becoming life-threatening or too out of control your dreams will try to warn you about this, but these types of dreams are tailored to the individual, using whatever symbolism works best.

Admiral
(Boat/Journey)

Personalities and characters
An Admiral might be used to describe a person who should take charge and steer the family towards calm waters. This type of symbol will usually link with the journey dream and the existing emotional journey you are all on. This symbol reminds you of your own power and energy so that you can take charge of the helm and guide you and your family in the direction that you want to go.

Adultery

Fear dream
Dreaming of committing adultery might happen because you are looking for qualities in a partner that you think are missing from your own personal relationship. You can explore other relationships safely within your dreams. If you dream that your partner commits adultery it will link with the ‘fear dream’ scenario and your own insecurities about the relationship, this happens when you need to deal with your insecurities for a relationship to make progress or find balance. This type of dream might occur when there are relationship issues but doesn't predict adultery, it's more about understanding the different qualities people have and how they share them with each other rather than with other people.

Airplane
(Aircraft below)

(Energy)
(Destination/Journey)
(Visiting other countries dream)

(Machinery)

(Plain crash dream)

Life's journeys
Travel and journey dreams help you to acknowledge the existing juncture that your life is at, and the means of transport you use in a dream can give you a clue as to the energy at your disposal to get where you want in the future. Planes need you to have faith in yourself and the pilot to be able to take off into the unknown. Perhaps you should put your trust in someone else to help you make progress and complete a life journey successfully. Or perhaps not if the plane in your dream takes a dive?

Planes lift you up and exhilarate you while taking you on long and exciting journeys, and this helps you to become aware of the distance that you need to travel to get where you want to be. A plane can describe a project taking off and making great progress, lots of energy is needed to reach the heights and distance that you want to go, and if you dream high and have faith then you can reach your goals. You can't always go it alone and quite often success needs everyone to play their part, travelling on a plane is an ideal symbol of this scenario.
Any problems with the plane or flight in your dream warn you about obstacles that could get in the way of success. In dreams, a plane crash can warn you about several precarious situations, basically, you have put your faith into flying high with your dreams and this takes great courage, crashes explain how you have lost faith in yourself or in other people and also lost faith in your overall chances of success.

Remember to give some thought to your own experience of flying because this dream might link with your personal fears of flying, in which case the dream could be prompting you to face your fears so that you can travel further afield or widen your horizons.

Aircraft
(Airplane above)

(Energy)

(Destination/Journey)
(Visiting other countries dream)

(Machinery)

The tools and skills you possess to help you take flight

The type of aircraft in your dream can help to describe the extent of power that is needed for flight or for a project to take off, this can link to the power of your dreams and the work involved getting them into reality. You need to learn the craft before your ideas can take flight.

When you dream about problems with the aircraft it’s a way for you to get an idea about the problems/obstacles that stand-in your way of being successful. Machinery of any kind uses energy, so this helps us to understand our own or someone else's energy input. If there isn't enough energy produced, then you won't get off the ground and it's often shown through aircraft not being able to take off.

Laziness or lack of enthusiasm can be presented using grounded flights.

Army aircraft will link with the battles and obstacles you need to overcome before you can be successful, whereas passenger aircraft will have more to do with the people you share your journey with.

Holiday aircraft are often used in dreams to help you understand the need for a break from the norm, there is a personal need to be lifted out of the everyday mundane duties that weigh you down and keep you grounded or prevent you from flying with your dreams.

Fear dream?

Airport
(Destination/Journey)

(Visiting other countries dream)

Transitions

From one phase into another!
An airport is a convenient symbol that helps to inform you when you are at a crucial stage of change in your life, or you are moving from one phase into another in an exciting grand way. If you are stuck at an airport, then you do not have the means as yet to take flight or move forward in the way that you want to.

Obstacles at the airport represent delayed progress regards your dreams and wishes. Arrivals and departures are often used to describe the arrival or departure of something, be it negative or positive. A new start or the ending of something, this could also be a symbol for a spiritually transformative time.

Where is your life going next?

Aim
(Archery below)

(Shooting/Target)

Your aims
Any dreams about aiming or scoring will be used to represent the things that you are aiming for in your life, the outcome is not always known because it depends on the energy and motivation that you have at your disposal and your own ability to keep trying.

Practice and hard work will help you to hit the target.

Alarm
(Sirens)

Warning dream
Alarms are usually used in dreams to prepare or warn you of upcoming notable events, perhaps it is time that you got up and made a start on plans that you made previously. When alarm bells are ringing in a dream it could mean you are suspicious of someone’s genuineness.

Alarm Clock
(Clock/Time)

Opportunities
Alarm clocks remind us that it is time to ‘rise’ and do something worthwhile; the time has arrived for you to act. Only you personally can know what it is you should be doing with your time to make it more productive.

When you dream that your alarm clock doesn't go off and you are late for work it expresses the idea that you miss opportunities because you rely on others to do things that you should do.

You can’t get back the time you waste or the opportunities you miss,
Perhaps you lack the energy needed in order to give everyone what they want from you, in this instance, it’s time to tell them that you are unable to be as productive as usual.

The start of a spiritual journey?

Take more notice of what's going on around you!

Wake up to what's going on!

Alcohol
(Bar/Drink/Food)

Dependency on other things for your own happiness
It depends on your own attitude to alcohol to fully translate this dream, guilty pleasures, excess, or just letting your hair down occasionally. Alcohol needs time to fully mature and this can help you understand that it is time that you developed a mature approach to your life, you will inevitably do this anyway eventually.

If you are offered a drink in your dream but you are unsure of the actual contents of the drink then this will represent how you are unsure or uneasy about what is being offered to you, you are not confident it is a genuine offer and worry about the effect on you if you accept.

Food and drink in dreams equal the nourishment you receive from other people or how fulfilled you are with your situation. If you are given a celebratory drink it could be that you are in for a merry and successful time to celebrate.

Alien
(UFO)

The unknown
Aliens can be used in dream language to represent the unknown, a new situation or person is alien to you; perhaps you need to gain a better understanding of what you are dealing with. This dream can also be spiritually translated and symbolise the journey into the unknown and the discoveries that you make while on that journey.

Being abducted by aliens simply explains how you feel as though your life has been taken over by outside forces or that unfamiliar responsibilities have taken over your current set up, this situation is unique, and you need to adapt quickly before you are consumed by the negative fear which is created by dealing with the unknown. We only fear the things that we do not understand!

Alien abductions are a topic on their own and if you feel that your alien experience was more than a normal dream you should do some research regards this. A note to think about is that the subject has been studied by many credible researchers and many of them conclude that most extra-terrestrials reside in other dimensions that overlap with the spirit world or our greater consciousness if you prefer that term.

Allotment
(Food/Garden)

Growth and nurture
An allotment portrays spiritual growth coupled with fruitfulness, this will help you to understand if a current situation, relationship, or project can grow and become something of value, but only if you are prepared to make an effort.

An allotment needs tending to produce food, which is the basis for our contentment and comfort, and this doesn’t just happen on its own, it requires extra effort and care to become something worthwhile.

This dream is reminding you to nurture something if you want it to grow into something of value.

Hard work brings the results that you want!

Tend to relationships for growth.

Altar
(Buildings)

(Structures)

Relationships
Church altars can be used to represent marriage or other types of unions between people. They can also represent the spiritual bonds and pledges that you have made in the past.

Bells signify change!

Play on words? Alter/Change

Amputation
(Body/Dismembered)

Fear of loss
If you lose a limb in a dream it can represent 'the experience of loss' sometimes we lose things like our motivation and drive which can affect how stable we feel.

Being dismembered or torn apart in dreams remind us that we can be hurt because we are torn between people or torn apart by a profound experience. This type of dream is probably symbolic for the fear of loss rather than an actual physical loss, it is highly unlikely in the dream scenario that you experienced a limb being cut off, what you felt was the fear of this happening, you probably woke up before the amputation occurred. This explains your own fears of losing the people that you love; without them, you would not feel complete.

When the outcome of this type of dream is not known it is because it is not yet understood how things will turn out.

Anchors
(Boats)

Stability
Anchors are a symbol of stability and explain your wish to put down roots, they provide balance in emotional waters and help to remind you that you can find balance and stability through rest and recuperation, and by letting things calm down.

Learning to accept a new emotional standpoint.

Angels

Spiritual helpers
Angels help to show you that you have help at hand; unconditional love will surround and protect you. Angels have been known to visit while in the dream state or whilst people are wide awake, more commonly they are seen or allow themselves to be seen when we are at the in-between state of waking up or going to sleep, this is our twilight if you like when we are at our most connected with our subconscious and connected with the whole consciousness, we are highly receptive to receive messages in this twilight or overlapping time.
In times of great suffering or grief angels can be seen without the need for exceptional circumstances because the suffering and grief provide the same or similar vibrations that allow contact. Angels have also been encountered during near-death experiences; often an encounter with an angel is described as a vision.
Angels come in many forms and it is for the person receiving them to decide if the visitation is from an actual angel or not.

There are many descriptions and different accounts of angels throughout history; the most important thing is that you trust your own instincts and feelings towards acceptance of an angel visitation, sometimes an encounter might be considered later, after an event.
Angels and their roles:
Angels are said to fulfil many roles in heaven and on earth, it is said that there are nine types of angels.
As follows:
Seraphim's-Cherubim-Thrones-Dominions-Virtues-Powers-Principalities-Archangels-Angels.
Each angel has specific roles and duties, but it is widely accepted that they are ministers for God;

There is a lot of information available on the web of the different angels and their individual roles, but angels are usually called upon to help when all other attempts have failed. Angels administer comfort in distress and deliver messages and prayers between God, spirit, and humans. They take care to ensure that through the work they do they do not interfere with a chosen pathway or learning that an individual is destined to walk, although they do have the power to intervene if it is in a divine way. (In a way that is not against God or man and the balance of humanity) They assist souls into the next world and into earthly life and they ensure that occurrences that are preordained or arranged come to pass. They are also said to take upon themselves the work that neither man nor spirit wants to do or can do.

Often angels simply want the observer to share their angel experience with other people so that it brings hope and comfort to them as well, they want the message given to others that there is life after death and that there is a divine source of power that loves and watches over us all. It is said that Angels hear the suffering of souls that both man and spirit cannot, and they answer the calls in ways we don’t always understand.
Guardian angels or guides as they are known in spiritual movements are attached to humans to guide and help them on their chosen spiritual journey and oversee the soul’s experience. They usually stay with the same person throughout their life and ensure that the person stays on task as much as is possible. Guides that work with people who are on a spiritual path usually make themselves known to their charge. Even guardian angels cannot protect against your own free will, the choices you make will always be yours ultimately and their guidance can at times be sublime and easily ignored. If you have dreamed of an angel or angels I would suggest that they have brought you comfort in your distress or to help you understand your own spiritual journey.

Anger
(Jealousy)

Emotions
Anger can manifest in our dreams as an expression that needs to be released in a safe environment, perhaps because you do not deal with your inner anger appropriately, or perhaps you don't deal with problems when they arise. Anger is one of those emotions that if not dealt with it will fester and explode without warning.

If someone else is angry in your dream then you should take note of why, we are not always aware of other people's anger and this can be shown to us through our dreams, you could have picked up on it on a subconscious level and it has filtered into your dreams for you to take more notice of it.

If you do not know why someone is angry then maybe they are not angry with you specifically, but angry with injustice or imbalance.

Animals

Personalities, characters, and characteristics

Animals are usually used to describe a person's nature/character type:

When you dream of a certain animal the dream is trying to make you more aware of the type of person and their characteristics, these types of symbols are self-explanatory. For example, dreaming of a snake warns you of a slippery person who could have a negative effect on your life. You may or may not already be aware of who this person is, but this dream happens to help you fully understand the nature of the individual in question.

Another reason for using animals as symbols in our dreams is because they can help us develop our own character so therefore, the snake could be symbolic of the forbidden aspects of your own character that you need to either tame or suppress. Only time will tell which type of translation is appropriate, but most people are already aware of the personality that is being put under the spotlight by an animal dream scenario.
Animals can bring positive energy into your life and they can also translate feelings of vulnerability and the need to care for somebody. Animals are viewed as protective, loving and helpful and they can also be used as a representation of your inner fears. Animals also provide an ideal symbol to explain the conditions or environment in which you live. If you are overcrowded within your living conditions for example or penned-in and lacking in freedom etc.
If you are afraid of the animal in your dream then this tells you that you should be wary of a personality that has the capabilities of causing you trouble, but the fear could also be symbolic for your own fears, so it is important to acknowledge the person or situation that is being represented.
Being trapped by a wild animal is a common dream theme that is helping you to acknowledge the fact that you feel trapped by someone or something, perhaps you are frightened to move forward, you might also be mentally trapped in the past. Further important symbolism can be gained by noticing how the animal is acting in your dream, if a wild animal is acting loving in your dream then the symbolism could be about your expectations of a person, you expect they are wild and unpredictable but really they are soft and cuddly, but it might be a symbol of a personality who is apt to change from one to the other.

Use animal dreams to help you think about an individual character and their nature, the dream should give you an idea as to who the animal is referring to if not, it can often be worked out after an event, unfortunately.

Character descriptions can contain a lot of information, for example, a polar bear, someone who is cold and unfriendly, although they are white, so they are not a negative person, they are just going through a rough time. Because they are large it probably portrays someone who has spent a large amount of time with you, or that their problems are larger than they can deal with, or perhaps that the issues you have with them are too big to deal with. Think about all the different symbolism you can get from an animal, their behaviour in your dream, their temperament, their size, and colour, etc.

Birds
Birds are symbolic of freedom for the soul and for the ability to fly above your problems in a natural way. Birds can bring us news of new beginnings or of changes to come because they can gain a wider view of what is going on, they transcend the earthly realms and provide a bird’s eye view of the bigger picture. It has been said that birds can bring us a message from loved ones in the spirit world that a soul has been released.

Birds of Prey

These types of birds could be used to represent someone who is preying on you or a situation that is preying on your mind.

Caged Birds
Caged birds symbolise the fight for freedom from restraint, maybe your own personality is being suppressed or held back. Your Spiritual side needs to be released.
Water Birds
Water-birds will describe personalities that cope well with emotional ups and downs and deal with their emotions and feelings positively. Water birds are often used to represent the family or brood and the emotional ties we have with them.

Wild Birds
Wild birds can portray freedom coupled with a need to understand that you belong to the whole as well. This will link with the cosmic consciousness where you are free to think for yourself or to tap into the shared consciousness if you need to. Spread your wings and learn to rise above the commotion that is life.
Flocks of Birds
Flocks of birds represent the family unit working together and reaching heights because of each other. Like attracts like, birds of a feather flock together.
Chicken
(Chicken in Food)
A chicken can describe someone not having the courage to take matters into their own hands or to deal with problems when they arise.

Cowardliness or a careless attitude?
Cockerel
A Cockerel is often used in dream symbolism to bring your attention to the importance of time; they can represent endings, but they can also announce new beginnings. Cockerels can also be used to portray a show-off or someone trying to ruffle your feathers with their thoughtless behaviour.
Cuckoo
Cuckoos lay their eggs in another bird’s nest, leaving the chick to be hatched and looked after by a different species of bird. This might correspond with a situation of responsibility being passed on to someone else for them to deal with.
Crow

(Dream about crows pecking me)
Crows would have been viewed as ominous omens in the old type of dream translation, nowadays they link better with unwanted mothering or a bossy controlling woman.

An old crow is viewed as a woman who pecks at you until she gets what she wants.

Ducks

Ducks cope well with water (emotional states of being) and they teach you to stay afloat emotionally, to learn this technique you must understand the need to let the minor aggravations pass you by.

Ducks can also symbolise the family unit sticking together through emotional situations.

Think about the saying water off a duck's back?

Eagle
Eagles are often used as a symbol to remind you to keep an eye out for opportunities or for obstacles that could get in the way of those opportunities. They also explain how you need to rise above the mayhem to see a situation for what it really is, thus enabling you to see how to instigate positive change.
Look out for opportunities!
Geese
These water birds might symbolise your children and the emotional attachments that you have to them. Children grow up and leave home, but they always return when they want or need something.
Hawk
As with an Eagle, the translation is similar, keep an eye out for opportunities and do not let them pass you by.
A quick thinker is often symbolised by a Hawk.
Magpie
There is a rhyme that portrays the symbolic meanings of magpies and I would consider if any were appropriate to you, but a magpie could also represent a character that takes what isn’t theirs as they are often thought of as thieves, but in contrast to this, magpies are usually seen in pairs because they choose a partner for life.
Owl

These birds are often used to portray wisdom through contemplation and patience.
Parrot in P
Peacock
A Peacock could describe a show-off, or someone trying to get your attention. In contrast to this, a peacock symbol could be telling you to be proud of yourself because you have come a long way.
Pelican in P

Penguin

The symbolism might be gained from recognising and adopting their unique skills, their ability to survive in the coldest regions of the earth, their ability to climb the steepest icy slopes. The mums go out to work and the dad's stay at home looking after the kids. I'd say you feel lonely and lacking in love, but you have skills that can't be equaled, and you need to remember your total value.

Coldness often represents cold emotions, fear, and inertia but time will change things and the ice will melt within your soul.

A penguin can provide a symbol for a devoted partner but who doesn't show their emotions.

Sparrows

A Sparrow often symbolises innocence and raw beauty.
Swan
Swans represent grace and devotion and they are also used as a symbol to explain how you have progressed on a spiritual path. Swans help to convey the transition from innocence to experience and explain the transformation.
Robin
A robin is a bringer of love because of the redbreast that he has. The colour red is often used to symbolise love and passion. If the robin is singing, then a declaration of love is being made. Robins have also been used to describe the pain that you must first endure to truly understand love. Robins show up to the living to bring a message from the spirit world, a message of love, and to let you know that the person in spirit you have been thinking about is at peace.

A friend's visitation.

Insects
(Fly) (Maggots in M)

(Things crawling under my skin)
Insects are viewed as intruders and can represent either a person or a group of people who intrude into your environment. They are also used to describe situations that are intrusive and need irradiating, especially if they are abundant in a dream. We usually find insects an annoyance and therefore they help to describe anything annoying that you must deal with.

Perhaps a multitude of different aggravations is being brought to your attention if you dream about different types of insects together. Consider if the insects you dreamed about have a positive or negative connotation for you, how people feel about different insects must be considered in the translation, as it can be different individually, which might change the meaning and symbolism. A good example of this is when spiders are used in dreams as they could represent a personal fear which needs to be understood, in this case, the dreamer will need to decide if the spiders are a representation of another type of fear they have?
Bees

Bees remind us about the importance of working together for the overall betterment of society or for the family unit.
To be stung by a bee isn’t necessarily an omen of doom but backs up the idea that for you to reap the rewards that are available to you now, there is a certain amount of pain or hard-work to be experienced first. When bees sting it is done to protect themselves from harm and for no other reason, you might have to protect yourself from outside influences so that you can concentrate your efforts towards progression in work.

There is work to be done and money to gather, reap the rewards of your hard work after a certain amount of time.

Abundance!
Beetle
Beetles symbolise protection from evil or negative influences, your own method of protection is being highlighted, you must decide what needs protecting and from who.
Butterfly
A butterfly can represent the fleeting beauty that we sometimes take for granted, they remind us to appreciate the good things when they come our way.

The fight of the butterfly as it emerges from its cocoon is what enables it to take flight.

Freedom, peace, and a message from the spirit world that the soul is released.

Transformation!
Fly
These insects describe passing aggravations if they are noticed singly in your dream, but if there are a lot of flies then they are there to help you understand that there is decay in some area of your life, this needs to be dealt with for you to find peace and harmony again.

The breaking down of negativity.

Spiders
(See Web)
People don't usually like spiders let alone having them turn up in their dreams, but the outcome has always been good when people have dreamt about them. Spiders symbolise good luck and prosperity because they are creators and have the substance within them to catch what they need. The web is a symbol that helps you to understand that you can catch what you want if you take the time and make the effort.

In some circumstances, a spider dream can be viewed as a fear dream and require you to face your fears so that you can move forward and receive the energy they bring. They chase you to move you forward and help you to act quickly where it is needed.

Money is produced when it is needed!

Wasps

Wasps could describe somebody with a sting in their tail. Passing aggravations that won’t stay around for too long, if you stay away from them that is.

Baby Animals
Young or baby animals usually refer to young personalities or immature characters. They can represent your need to be the carer in the family, but sometimes this means that people don't learn to do things themselves.
Domestic Animals
Your own pets are often used to present the fact that you are relied upon for everything, and in return, you receive unconditional love. Domestic animals bring us love and adoration; perhaps you need a selfless companion to bring you comfort and support and are being shown a symbol for an appropriate person who can do this.

Tame animals represent people who are laid back, but if in the dream their nature changes it helps to remind you that even docile personalities can turn nasty. Pets who have passed away often return to their owners in their dreams, to say thank you for the love and care that you gave them.
Wild Animals
Wild animals help you to understand the wild side of your own or of other people’s nature or temperament. The side of a personality that acts of its own accord without consideration for everyone else. Wild animals can also help you to understand your own fears in the face of hostility or opposition and to help you prepare a way forward when you are faced with these things in your life.

Animals display characteristics that help you to understand the type of person you must deal with; they also help you to develop and understand aspects of your own personality.

Wild animals acting tame in a dream merely represent a personality who is judged as wild and unpredictable but can also be a big softy and calm natured. You might just need to evaluate your presumptions about a person and try to see their whole nature rather than just aspects of it. This also works for tame animals that act wild in your dream but it's then about the presence of anger or unpredictability coming from a usually mild and meek person.

Alligators

(Crocodile Dream)
These reptiles can represent someone’s snappy and unpredictable nature; you should be wary of the dangerous temperament of emotional people that are around you.
Reptiles are often used to represent the reptilian part of the brain which is connected strongly with power and an abuse of power.
Ape
An ape could be used to describe copied behaviour or a mischievous character getting up to no good.
Antelope
These animals symbolise majestic grace or someone with these characteristics. The antlers are held high and are used to win battles from the opposition.

Ass/Donkey

Donkeys are symbolic of personalities who carry a lot of baggage around with them, but they are also hard workers. Someone could make an ass of themselves.
Cow
Cows can sometimes be used to describe a spiteful woman, but they can also represent the source of your own contentment and how likely it is that you will get what you need, especially so if it is a milking cow.
Bull
Opposition comes from a bull, it can also symbolise a personality or represent characteristics needed by the dreamer, stamina for example.
A stubborn character.
A Taurus (Horoscope)
Bull in a china shop.
A bully.
Bear

Consider the type of bear in your dream and use the colour to help with your translation:

A white bear could be used to symbolise someone who has good intentions even though you judge them by their wild unpredictable nature. Polar bears are also from the cold regions so you could assume that this person is cold natured, or perhaps lonely but they may just be fearful of their own feelings.

A brown bear might represent the mother or father's character, they strive to protect their cubs and are perceived as strong and protective with a measure of authority.

A black bear could represent a character to be feared but with the other mentioned characteristics as well. Maybe you are witnessing the whole character rather than aspects of a character.

Something is larger than you can deal with?
The mother type.
Destructive and loving.
A bear with a sore head.
Over protectiveness.
Something you must bare?
A bear hug from a loved one?

A big cuddly strong character?
Cat
In dream language the cat is often used to represent the feminine charm, they are viewed as independent and industrious. Wildcats symbolize the wild unpredictable side of a woman’s nature.
The cat that got the cream?

Cheetah

They are the fastest terrestrial animal in the world so its symbolism might be about what a fast worker someone is, also think about the wording, a cheater?

Crab
Crabs remind you not to walk sideways in life and the shell symbolises your own hard shell, you will not listen to advice and feel the need to protect yourself from other people. Consider if this applies to someone else that you know.
A Cancerian person. (Horoscope)
Dog

In dream language dogs are nearly always used as a symbol for the protector, they are often thought of as a source of unconditional love and for this reason, they make an excellent symbol for your own spiritual guide and the invisible part they play in your life. If the dog in your dream is acting violently, they may be portraying a predator type of character.

Dolphin
Dolphins are spiritual creatures that highlight a carefree nature, they express freedom for the soul. They spend their lives in small protective groups, therefore they help you to understand the importance of belonging to the whole but of developing your own individuality as well.
Dolphins communicate using vibration and this will link with spiritual communication.
Protection comes from the group soul.
Emotional courage and grace.
Spiritual communication.
Intelligent learning.
Elephant
In dream language the elephant represents protection and wisdom, they are ‘all-knowing’ and they never forget. They could be used to represent a situation that seems bigger than the dreamer. A situation that needs talking about and recognising for what it really is.
Fish
(Fish)

(Fish and Boat Dream)

Fox
A fox can be used in dream language to represent cunning and slyness; unless she is with cubs then she is being the independent and self-reliant protective mother.
Goat
An ambitious person who can be stubborn. Capricorn is the sign of the mountain goat, a high climber who takes their time to get where they want to be.

Hippopotamus

They love to wallow and they can't swim, so whoever they represent cannot deal with emotions at all, they will wallow and stew for ages.
Horse
In the past a horse was used as a symbol for the personal or spiritual journey, it helps you to make progress in your life; nowadays it is more symbolic for someone who helps you to get along, usually a male influence. There are some sexual connotations because this symbol can also hint at the sexual experience with a partner who can help you move on from the past. Consider the colour of the horse to help with your translation.
A Sagittarius person.
Kangaroo
Kangaroos portray the protective mother type of personality. The kangaroo's pouch is a way to represent someone who needs looking after or who still needs protection from the outside world.

Perhaps someone is overprotective?
A jumping Kangaroo can help you to acknowledge someone who can make progress in leaps and strides or someone who jumps around aimlessly and cannot find direction.

Leopard

(A leopard dream)

The symbolism could be taken from their strength as they are the strongest of the cat family. Other symbolism could be taken from their spots and the saying that a leopard can't change its spots.
Lion
Strength and courage can be described to you by a lion, but it depends if you feel threatened or hunted by it in your dream. If you are cornered or trapped, then you feel trapped by an external source of power that you do not know if you can match in strength.

To overcome a lion in your dream is to overcome a powerful opponent or perhaps your own fears need to be dealt with.

A female personality if it was a Lioness.

A Leo.
Mice
Mice could be used in dreams to help explain situations that go on quietly under the surface. You may only get small clues to warn you that something is happening but eventually you will have to deal with it. Mice will often represent small annoyances that if left alone will multiply.

Minks

This could possibly be a play on words and describe a minx or someone who gets into a bit of trouble because of their emotional immaturity. Emotionally driven and childlike their choices are not always made from an experienced standpoint which means they can be easily led. These type of people are often lovable but immature.
Monkey
Monkeys can help to characterise people who have not developed their own personality, and so act thoughtlessly.

Monkeying around.

Childishness and trickery.

Octopus
Pig
Pigs are often used in dreams to bring your attention to a person who is pig-headed and inconsiderate. Because pigs like to wallow in mud, they are also used to portray somebody who likes to wallow in self-pity.

Rabbit
Rabbits usually represent fertility and growth within the family unit. They can also be used in dream language to represent anything that can multiply rapidly, perhaps this will help you to understand that things can quickly get out of control if left alone for too long.
Ram
A Ram can represent someone who rams themselves ‘in’ where they are not actually needed. A person who is headstrong and a little self-interested.
Rat
Rats would be a typical dream symbol to represent someone who acts with little moral judgment. If there are a lot of rats in your dream, then they could describe a group or association of people who do not have your best interest at heart.
Reptiles
Reptiles will often be used to symbolise the thick skin or cold bloodiness of a personality that you encounter. They might also symbolise people who have not moved into the current era and are old fashioned in their way of thinking.
Serpent
The idea of a serpent being the deliverer of tests for the human soul, to bring enlightenment. Tests of endurance and of mind over matter, the idea that without these tests the soul would not be open to learn and grow. The challenges we face in our life are what help us to become more spiritually aware and enlightened in knowledge.

Shark
Loan sharks or predators.

Nasty people who should be avoided.

Slugs
Slugs can represent an irritant, perhaps something that is eating away at the progress you have made so far. The size and amount may be important to your translation.

Slow movement or slow progress.
A slimy character.

Snails

A protective but fragile shell.
Something is moving at a snail’s pace.
Moving home.
Snake
(See Venom in V)

(Black snake dream)
Beware of people who have sneaky poisonous tendencies, similarly a situation that requires your endurance. Snakes are often used to represent opposition, a lack of control and the need to develop your ability to notice when temptation is taking over, this may be appropriate for you or for someone around you.

Snakes can sometimes be a symbol of eternal life.
Squirrel

(A dream about a squirrel)

Storing away what you need for later.
Hiding away your talents.
Perseverance and tenacity.

Insecurities and developing faith in oneself.

Tiger
These wild animals can represent anything that evokes fear within you. Tigers are dangerous and the appropriate symbolism might come from working out what it is you are frightened of; you have to face this fear. Another possible translation is that there is a scary character on the loose, they are changeable and can cause you pain. Tigers can also be used to describe your own unpredictable nature or perhaps a situation that tests your perseverance and ability to withstand opposition.

Tigers never back down!
Tortoise
Hibernation from society.
Progress is slow-moving.
Inertia.

Turtle

Dreams about Turtles
Driven by emotions.
Snappy.

Wolf

Think about the saying "the wolves are at the door". This means people are out to get you. Dogs are normally protective but wolves are hunters, so therefore probably represent the feeling of being tracked down.

Keep the wolves at bay by using your instincts and dealing with issues before they turn into bigger problems.

A wolf is also used as a symbol for your protective spirit guide.
Whale
(Water)
The type of whale you dream of might have significance, for example, the sperm whale could symbolise increased fertility, a killer whale would represent a larger than life personality with the ability to cause harm in your emotional affairs.
A pilot whale is a symbol of you taking a new and meaningful direction in your life.

The blue whale is a symbol of emotional healing, its vast size can explain the power that is available to heal emotional pain, whereas a black and white whale can be used to represent the positive and negative aspects of your own emotional personality, and how this creates a balanced character, even if you do not feel particularly balanced.

A humpback whale might represent someone who is moody and easily riled, they are over emotional and more importantly, they take up a lot of your time and energy.
Overall a whale would be used as a symbol to represent your own profound feelings which occasionally rise to the surface. The whale symbol may, of course, be used to represent someone else and their feelings, someone who you would find it difficult to understand completely. The whale is often viewed as a solitary mammal.
You might have a whale of a time!

Zebra
A zebra's black and white stripes represent the negative and positive nature of someone that you encounter. The symbolism is very similar to a horse, but you cannot ride a zebra so although this person is adventurous, the relationship cannot progress because of their wild nature, they are not suited to staying in one place for very long.

Appointment
(Calendar)

Destiny and opportunities

Your attention is being drawn to the fact that there is somewhere you need to be or something that you need to do. Sometimes, this can be an obstacle dream because in the dream scenario you are late or cannot get to an appointment.

Obstacle dreams tell us that there is something in our way and we will need to get over it before we can proceed with our plans.

An appointment with destiny?

Apron
(Clothes)

The mother

An apron sometimes represents the inability to grow-up or to break away from childish behaviour. It could also be used to describe when someone is tied to the role of the mother and is trying to combine the different roles she has to play for other people, perhaps career and motherhood.
Work needs to be done to fix a problem.
The feminine and nurturing side of a person.
Protection from negativity.

The mummy's boy?

Arch
(Structures)

(Archways and Gateways)

Support
In dream language archways show us the transitions that we need to make from one stage or phase into another; the energy needed for this transition isn't an obstacle because you can slip easily from one phase into another without much effort.

Occasionally, archways will represent the entry from one realm into another, they connect you with your spirituality. Archways are often used to support structures and can, therefore, be viewed as support through change, keeping the structure of your life secure when changes occur.

Making Connections?

Archaeologist
(Old/Digging )

The past
An archaeologist could be used to describe someone who brings out your own hidden talents. Alternatively, perhaps the old you must resurface. You will need to translate other symbols to understand the meanings better.
Fossils can represent parts of yourself that have long since expired, but these aspects of your learning and experience have helped to craft the person that you have become.
Digging up old memories?
Remnants from the past?
The past has helped to create the future.

Archery
(Aim above)

Your aims
Firing arrows usually link with Eros and are said to cause the bonds of love to form. This type of symbol might be helping you understand if or not you are likely to get what you are aiming for.
Arrows are also used to give direction and might be used in your dream to point out that there are alternative routes for you to take.

Armchair
(Furniture)

Your home life and the structures that uphold it
Your home comforts can be explained by an armchair, the condition of the chair will help you with the translation and explain how comfortable you are with your home life. Chairs are often used in dreams as a symbol of comfort and stability and they help to portray your current set up and how you adapt to the changes that occur over time. Chairs are also a symbol of support, think about the fact that they get more comfortable over time because you have molded them to your own shape, perhaps this links with someone reliable that is supportive and who you will grow more comfortable with as time goes by.

Army/Air force
(Attack below/Battle)

Fight to win
These forces can stand to represent the people who we need to help us fight a personal battle, they can also represent the opposition who we are fighting or defending ourselves from. The battle you are fighting in your life can be of any denomination, it is an individual thing that you alone will understand. When the armed forces are brought into a dream it is often because the battle you must fight demands more than you alone can provide, you may have to employ the help of other people who are more adept at dealing with the type of problems that you are currently dealing with.

Protection?

Fights?

Arsonist
(Fire)

Love, fear, and anger
Someone starting fires in your dream can warn you about heated situations that erupt without warning. Fire often links with passion in its disruptive form. There is a possibility that someone is trying to light your fire or ignite your inner passions, but fires can sometimes describe your own fears becoming all-consuming.
If you are unsuccessfully trying to light a fire it will represent the fact that the passion or the flame has gone out of a relationship, or that it wasn’t there in the first place. Remember the saying 'light a fire under someone'? You do this to break them free from inertia.

Art/Artist
(Painting)

Your creativity
Art helps you to appreciate beauty and highlights the need for you to find the beauty in your life and recreate the same for the people that you value. Any form of art like painting, sculpting, writing, acting, singing or creating music is highlighting your ability to create harmony and a sense of oneself being transferred towards other people for their satisfaction.
Artistic Creations.
Master the art of creating a positive energy vibration.
What we create is what we shall live.

Ashes
(Arsonist above/Fire)

What's left after the fire
The remains of something that has long since passed its value in your life, there is nothing viable left.
From the ashes, new shoots will grow.
The remnants of past experiences.

Asteroids
(Alien above/UFO)

What's passing through your life and the after-effects
You are dealing with unknown aspects of life which you haven’t had any experience of before.
People or events that have a major impact on your life.

Unusual circumstances that can change the current set up.

Atoms
(Energy)

The finer details
Dreaming of atoms could show you how you need to look at things in more detail, you are so intent on seeing the bigger picture that you are missing the finer details.

Atlas

(Destination/Journey/Maps)

(Visiting other countries dream)

Your Journey
An atlas can present the world and all that it has to offer you, perhaps you need to examine the opportunities that are available to you and choose a direction to go in so that you can start your next adventure.
Sometimes this symbol can represent the need to travel further afield to reach your destination, not necessarily in distance but widening your horizons to increase your chances of getting where you want to be. Change the direction that your life is taking.

Attack
(Battle)

Fight to win
Being attacked in a dream is not an omen of imminent violence but can be used to describe a situation that is attacking your own defenses, it could be an attack of the nerves where your own fears are attacking your strength and creating weakness. An attack could be used to describe an illness where the immune system is under attack.

An external attack would be where other people are pushing their will onto you; they are attacking your integrity, invading your space, or ruining your peace and security.

Is your good name under attack?

Aquariums
(Fish)

Emotions and relationships
Fish in an aquarium or fishbowl can symbolise inhibited or overly controlled emotions, they do not flow freely.
Seeing lots of fish in an aquarium can explain the overcrowded and emotional environments that you feel unable to find a way-out from. Fish are also used as a symbol of trying to find the right man, from the saying 'plenty of fish in the sea', maybe you feel like you have a smaller pool to choose from.

Aura
(Colour/Energy)

Spiritual dream
If you are aware of someone’s aura in a dream then you are becoming more spiritually aware, sometimes we can only see these things while we are dreaming. Look up individual colours if they are noticed. Everything has an aura even inanimate objects because everything is made up of vibrating energy frequencies, some people are gifted with the ability to see auras around things and people including the aura around plants and flowers.
The base colour of an aura is white, and this is because pure energy is white, it is made up of all the colours of the spectrum, different vibrations create different colours. Therefore, you can look at the white aura as the base of all possibilities.
The energy force that surrounds everything.
A spiritual person.
Energy and healing.

Australia
(Aborigine above/Countries)

Your Journey
Australia might symbolise your world being turned upside down, but it could also explain the distance that has been created between you and another person.

Dreaming of other countries that you haven’t visited will help to explain how your current circumstances are new to you, you haven’t experienced this before, you are in unknown territory.

Avalanche

(Weather/Cold)

Emotional turmoil
An avalanche represents a sudden onslaught of feelings and emotions that dominate everything else around you. Perhaps you feel as though problems are building up on top of you and you must escape before they push you over the edge. The coldness will symbolise cold feelings and ice is usually used to represent rigidness.
Snow is often symbolic of built-up feelings; therefore a sudden avalanche is obviously a release of all of those things.

Overpowering feelings that create instability.
A new level footing will eventually be found.

Awakening
(Awakening-False)

Fear dream, take back control of your life
False awakenings happen because you are trying to gain control of your dream; quite often because you do not want to be in it and are trying to escape the dream scenario, this can overlap onto real life as there are usually some circumstances that you wish to escape from. Only you have real control over your life and the direction it takes, you are being reminded that now is the time to take that control.
A spiritual awakening.
A rude awakening.
A wake-up call.

Award
(Badge)

Baby
(Birth below)

(Baby Dreams) (Dreaming During Pregnancy)(Feeding a baby)
Responsibilities and potential
With baby dreams always think about what you would view as your baby, a baby, a job, a relationship, a project or business, anything that needs to be looked after and cared for long term. Babies describe the growth process and the various stages from infancy too maturity, this isn't always about people and their personal growth but can also relate to business and personal relationships. Babies can help to describe the potential for growth and the need for nurture and safe care to reach success and maturity. Babies also help you to understand that you oversee the outcome of a new adventure and of then seeing it through to maturity. When older people dream of having a baby or looking after a baby it often portrays the care and love they have put into looking after the younger generation and the dream is about passing down experience and wisdom. Dreaming of a baby who isn’t your own could explain how you have taken on a responsibility that belongs to someone else.

Dreaming of an unknown baby could be a premonition of a new baby within the family set up, but quite often the dream refers to new beginnings or a fresh start in a project that you want to create.

A small baby will symbolise a small project or task which has the potential to grow into something bigger if you put in the time and effort.

A large chubby baby represents a project that has already been given time and attention, it is a reminder that you are doing well and to carry on the way you are. Whereas a baby who looks malnourished or fragile will help you to understand a project that needs looking after better, it needs more of your input to become sturdy and robust. This symbol will help to explain neglect and a lack of care and attention as well as situations where you have already worked hard, but it just never seems enough to create growth or success. A baby helps you recognise when you are going to invest a lot of time and energy into something, but this will mean long term care and dedication if you want it to continue to grow.

To see a baby swimming on its own is a way for you to recognise that something quite small can stay afloat and carry on without too much input from outside. This might be appropriate for a small business that can survive through tough times. This symbol could also be used to portray someone who is treated like a child even though they are more than able to support themselves. If a baby is struggling to stay afloat in water, it can mean that something or someone isn't ready to be independent and still needs a helping hand. This happens when our children think they are grown up but they still need guidance, perhaps you still see them as your baby.

Dreaming about a baby while you are pregnant, happens because you are adapting to the new responsibility that the new baby will bring, you are preparing yourself mentally for the mega task of bringing a child into the world and then raising them to the best of your ability. It is no wonder many women experience nightmares during pregnancy, your dreams are helping you to adapt and face your fears so that when the time comes you have already begun to toughen up.

Baby clothes and baby blankets are often used to let you know a new baby is on the way.

Backbone/Back

(Bones below/Skeleton)
Your strengths and weaknesses
If your backbone is highlighted in a dream this could refer to your personal strength and your ability to remain upright when there are added pressures to deal with. Perhaps you need to get some backbone and toughen up when times get difficult.
Watch your back?

Bacteria
Dealing with life on a basic level

Negative contamination from outside sources, or from negative people whose attitudes tend to overtake everything. Bacteria could be symbolic of negativity but also growth and development stemming from the basics.

Bad

(Pus/Rotten)
Negativity
If something is going bad or decaying in a dream, then it literally means that something in your life is slowly deteriorating or showing signs of neglect. You will need to look at other symbols in the dream to try and work out what is deteriorating; it could be a personal relationship or perhaps your own actions that need consideration.
To be eating food that has turned bad explains that you are not experiencing good things in your life right now, possibly through no fault of your own. There are always some aspects of decay in our lives and this must happen so that new phases can begin. To change what's on your plate at the present time you must make changes to your usual way of acting or reacting.

Badge
(Award)
Your skills and talent

A badge is used as recognition for your hard work or for something good that you have done, it also helps you to recognise that you belong to a group of like-minded people.

A badge of honour?
Give respect where it is needed!

Bag
(Basket below)
(Excess Baggage)
Contentment or emptiness?
A bag can represent the baggage that you carry around with you. If the bag is too heavy in your dream, then you may need to offload some of the issues or problems that you are trying to deal with. This symbol is presenting the way that you feel so you can try and let go of some of the burdens and de-stress. The contents of the bag can help you with the translation but if the bag is empty it is a representation of the empty feeling or inner loneliness that you carry around with you.

Remember also, that baggage can be carried from the past and is also symbolic of the things you are holding onto. The condition of the bag should be considered, an old torn or broken bag suggests that the baggage you are carrying around is old and outdated whereas a new bag presents new or unexpected responsibilities. The size of the bag might correspond to the size or amount of baggage you carry on your shoulders. Think about other clues like the colour or style of bag, a rucksack, for example, will link with a journey, possibly the 'life journey' or a journey that you want to take.

Do responsibilities way you down or prevent you from being able to see the world? Shopping bags can help to describe all the things that you want or need to feel fulfilled or happy, and like I said you can link this with what is in the shopping bag.

Personal handbag/purse

Because your handbag or purse is used daily and is full of your personal items, it can provide a good example of security, it's full of the items that contribute to you get to work, buying things, your keys for home or the car, as well as all the other collected nonessential scraps that get stored in there. Therefore, to lose your bag in a dream would create fear and dread and the symbolism could be about the fear of losing any of the above-mentioned securities in your life. This will link with the fear of losing something important. I would, of course, take precautions as it would be silly not to.

Consider what type of bag you dreamed about and what it's used for, then link this with your personal situation for a fuller translation.

Bailiff
Fear of loss
A Bailiff will represent someone or something that arrives in your life and intends to take something from you, this could be anything from your time, money or energy.

Baker/Baking
(Bread below/Food/Cake)
Creativeness
A baker is used as a representation of someone who provides what you need to feel content, on a basic level, this is probably you if you are the baker, bread can be a symbol for money because of the obvious connotations of dough, but a baker can provide a good symbol for monetary nourishment devised from your own creativity. Mixing the different skills that you have can create a different outcome. Also, consider how the baked goods turn out, as it will give you a hint as to your creativity and ability to come up with the goods which other people expect from you. Practice makes perfect, you need failures to have success.
Think about the other symbols as well, like the oven, gas or electricity, problems in those areas will link with your energy and if you have enough to follow through with your creations.
The creator within.

Balcony

(Structures)

Support and change

A Balcony can present the idea of being on the edge of change, hanging in limbo, or on the edge of an event. Perhaps you need to decide the next step before you proceed with your chosen course of action because there is some uncertainty about how things will turn out. Also, consider any issues with your dream balcony and what you saw below or on the horizon?

On the edge of the unknown?

Being on the precipice of life usually instigates change but it could be you who has to instigate the change.

Baldness
(Hair/Shaving)
Your insecurities, confidence and the way you express yourself
Baldness can express wisdom but is sometimes used as a symbol to explain a lack of vitality, this can, of course, be a fear dream-like losing one’s teeth: Perhaps you feel that you are losing something of importance to you, something you cannot do without. You are in fact gaining in knowledge and wisdom from the experience of letting things go. Stress is often linked with losing your hair, and this type of dream might be helping you to understand your stress levels.
Shaving your hair off in a dream is a way for you to acknowledge that it is time to grow up and take on the responsibilities you have been neglecting. Shaving your hair is also a feminine way to kick back at the world when the world hasn't been kind.
Hair growing back provides a reminder that anything that is lost can be regained, and if your hair grows back differently, this helps to back up this idea by saying that what you have lost will be replaced by something new and different.

A close shave?

Ball

(Catch)
Your skills and attributes
A ball can represent the ability to bounce back and still go far even when you take a knock. The spherical shape denotes completeness and a person with all-round talents or abilities. When we say someone is an all-rounder, we mean they can put their hand to anything.
What you give out, often comes back to you!
Going to a ball reminds you that you need to enjoy yourself and that celebration is likely to be on the cards, you will have a ball!
Cinderella and the handsome prince?
Better late than never!

Ballerina
(Dancing)
Your skills and abilities
A dancing ballerina represents gracefulness and spiritual balance, they have worked exceptionally hard to master their craft and perhaps you can learn from that.

Balloon
Your dreams and wishes
Balloons can signify your hopes and dreams rising to the heavens, if you lose sight of the balloons in your dream it is because you have lost sight of the dreams and hopes that you once cherished. Balloons also link with celebrations and happy times, so enjoy them while they are around. Translate the colours of the balloons to help with the symbolism.
A balloon bursting can symbolise how your hopes and dreams can be extinguished quickly and without warning.

Going Bust!

Hot air balloon
Riding in a hot air balloon is a way for you to rise above your current problems and see them for how small they really are, but if there is a problem with the air balloon in your dream then you fear crashing back down to earth even when you do manage to escape from your problems. This comes from the feeling that if you don’t worry about something then you won’t be prepared, so you constantly worry just in case.
Rise above it!

Ballroom

(Dancing)
Your skills and abilities
A Ballroom is a place of creativity, where people can show off their artistic talents and share the results of their hard work and labours. This place could be used as a symbol to show you that what you create with your talents should be showcased and shared. It doesn’t matter what your talents are, the point is to get out there and be noticed.
Ballroom dancing can have sexual connotations because dancing closely with a partner can be symbolic of a close physical relationship with them. You are in sequence with that person and you effectively complement each other. Unless the dance is chaotic or haphazard then I would suggest that you practice some more.
Express yourself!

Bandages
(Wounds)
Healing your pains
Bandages can help you to acknowledge that you are trying to heal wounds. You cover them up to protect yourself from further hurt or to hide your hurt from other people.
Covering up how you feel underneath the surface.
Healing needs to take place!
Time is the greatest healer!

Bank
(Cheque/Energy/Money)
A wealth of knowledge
A bank is typical for a place that we go to get something that we need; this could be money but could equally be a store of something else like motivation or self-satisfaction. A bank could also translate spiritual richness and the good things that you have ‘banked’ by the good deeds that you have done.
A hefty bank balance can point towards improvement for your finances, but it can also be relating to your own spiritual worth. The reverse is true if you dream that you have nothing in the bank, being bankrupt is a way for you to accept that care must be given to your finances or to your spiritual awareness. Being bankrupt can also express the feeling of being physically exhausted or mentally drained.
Have you got anything left to give?
You have nothing if you don’t have love!
Karmic balance?
A reserve of energy!

Baptism
(Water)

Wash away negativity
The cleansing away of old ways of thinking and doing, fresh new ideas are required for your progression. Baptism clears away previously held ideas and sins; it introduces a new way of life. Meet with your spiritual side and learn about who you really are.

Bar
(Alcohol/Drink)
Your contentment and satisfaction

Maybe there’s a need to socialise and connect with other people, or at least put yourself out there with other people in a sociable way. A bar is a place that we go to get something that we need, usually company and social contact. Incidentally in dreams drinking and eating is used to represent how we fulfil our basic needs, a thirst that isn’t quenched acknowledges the fact that you cannot find basic contentment with the things you have available to you, and drinking too much will never help you feel content or replace companionship and friendship. Consider what you are doing at the bar, the drinks, people, and the situation to help you with your translation.
A thirst for fun and social contact?

Bare
(Empty/Naked)
The emptiness inside
To help you translate this type of dream you will need to translate what is bare, bareness represents the feeling of vulnerability and exposure that is experienced throughout life. This type of dream needs you to examine the defense systems you have in place, which protects you from being hurt by external negativity in its many forms.

The truth laid bare for all to see!
Feeling exposed?

Barefoot

(Bare above/Feet)
(Shoes in Clothes)
This symbol will occasionally represent poverty but is also used as a symbol to express spirituality and being humble. The shoes you wear in a dream are a symbol of how easily and comfortably you can move forward on the path that you have chosen. Therefore, to be without shoes explains that you are vulnerable and less protected from the harsh ground you may have to tread.
The spiritual journey!

Tread carefully!

Barn

Think about what is in the barn to help you understand the symbolism, also think about the condition of the barn. Because it's a structure it will be used to represent the way your life is structured at the moment, farms are often useful to describe a crazy home life and all its different characters, animals are helpful to describe people's nature so look at animal symbolism as well. If the barn is dilapidated or in need of repair think about what needs some TLC around you because the structure you have in place needs maintenance.

Barking
Warning dream
To hear dogs barking in your dream is a way for you to understand that you are being given a warning, dogs are protective and will tell you when someone is around, this might happen so that you are on your guard against people who intrude into your life. Dogs are occasionally used in dream language to represent a spiritual guide, as in the protector.

The bark of a tree

The bark of a tree could be a representation of your outer layer shedding to reveal what's going on inside of yourself, the tree being a symbol of strength and maturity. It could also describe the shedding of old beliefs and ideas, time is a great healer, and its good for getting rid of the old so the new shines through.

Shed that rough exterior!

Basement
(Cellar/Dungeon)
(Structures)
Your feelings control the way your life is structured

In dreams, a basement will hold all the things that go on underneath the surface or the things that you do not wish to share with the rest of the world. A basement is part of a larger structure and this reminds you that what is going on underneath the surface is part of the reason that your life is structured the way it is, in other words, the issues that you keep hidden from the outside world gives rise to the patterns that your life seems to follow. What is in or going on in the basement will help you to understand what is really going on underneath the surface of your own facade, (or someone else) it's usually where we store our junk or the stuff we do not wish to deal with. Because the basement is the lowest part of a building this explains how it is the junk that we store away that makes us feel low or depressed. Sort out all the mess from the past to create a better future.

Basket
(Bag above)
Emptiness vs fulfilment
It depends if the basket if full, overloaded or empty for a clearer translation. A bag or basket can represent the resources that you have available to you or the baggage that you carry around which has become a burden. Look at what the basket contains to help you understand the meaning further, but if you don't know, then you are unaware of how to utilise your own assets. A full basket will denote abundance and an empty basket the emptiness that comes from feeling alone.
A basket case is known as a crazy person!

Bat
Characteristics
A winged bat could represent someone or something that sucks you dry emotionally or drains you of vital energy in another way.
A sports bat and ball of any type is used to help you understand the energy available to achieve the things that you want to do, dreams where you are hitting a ball with a bat usually need you to understand how far your energy can take you.

Bathing
(Swimming/Water)
(Cleaning /Washing)
Cleansing away negativity
Washing away problems and clearing away the negativity that builds up around you. A fresh approach is needed in matters that are concerning you but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
To be in the bath with someone else can sometimes mean you are both in the same boat, you both need to clean up your act to feel better about yourselves. To be in the bath with someone who you wouldn't particularly choose to bath with might be a representation of matching behaviours, rather than the symbolism coming from the person themselves. You both need a fresh start in any case and can help each other to create positivity.
Cleansing old beliefs!
Regeneration!
De-stressing!

Battle

(Attack/Fight/Opponent

(Battle Dream)
A personal battle

To dream of a battle will be a representation of any battle that you must fight, it could be a battle of the wills, you may have a battle to pick with somebody else, or they have a battle to pick with you. This symbol usually means that you have a battle on your hands in one way or another.
A battle against the odds!
A health problem?

Beach
(Sand/Sea)
Rejuvenation and recuperation

The beach is somewhere that we go to rejuvenate and refresh our inner self. It is a place where our emotions meet our earthly and more grounded self. Therefore, standing on a beach and looking out towards the sea is symbolic of assessing your own emotional standpoint, taking a time-out to consider your way forward with your emotional dealings. You might need a holiday away from your own feelings. The beach reminds you that in the long run hard rocks are ground down into tiny pieces, problems are like this too.

Beads
(Abacus/Jewelry/Necklace)
Counting your blessings
This symbol might link with prayer beads and counting your blessings and achievements. Stringing beads together is a way to understand how you piece together the many different facets of a personality to create the whole person. This symbol has also been used to represent the many lives you have had and how they all string together to create the completed journey or soul. The colours are important in this instance because they can represent the negative and positives of a life that was lived. The colours also describe the many experiences you have had in this life or have created for yourself and other people.
Beads breaking apart or breaking off from the string could be a way of explaining that you have been trying to keep things together but ultimately you can't prevent things from falling apart. Clothes are often used for this type of symbolism, but beads might be used as a representation of all the different things that can come apart, a break-up might cause other links and ties to fall apart as well.
A chain of events!

Bed
(Mattress)
(Dream about a bed)
(Structures)
Love and comfort
To dream of a bed can give you clues as to how you really feel about your love life, a bed is where you rest and share time with a partner. An empty bed symbolises an empty space in your heart or the feeling of loneliness. A sparsely covered bed can help you to acknowledge the fact that you feel that the cold is creeping into a relationship, this must be addressed to bring back the warmth. Whereas a broken bed helps you to understand when a personal relationship needs repair. A big plump bed will denote warmth, contentedness, and happiness in your personal relationship.
Overall, a bed will represent your private, personal space, and how you share it with a partner.
Find peace within yourself!
Rest is needed!

Bell
Warnings and change
Bells signify a time for action and a time to rest. They help you understand that it is time to begin or time to finish something. Bells are also used as warnings and to help you realise that something is wrong in some aspect of your life, it's time to make it right.
Church bells ringing will link with marriages, or the beginning of a spiritual journey or any other symbol you personally would link church bells with.

Belt
(Clothes)
Support and comfort
Clothes provide the facade that we show to others; we wear them to hide our true inner self. A belt might be considered as support or of reinforcement regards an idea that you have about yourself, for example, you might think that you lack confidence and situations have helped to back up this idea. Therefore, if you do up a belt in your dream then you have been letting your guard down and wish to protect yourself from further intrusion. To loosen a belt is to loosen up your opinions about yourself. To be hit with a belt will link with the pain you have felt from other people's opinions about you, it is time to stop caring what other people think and be your own judge.
Tighten your belt and stop spending cash!
Belt up!
Help and support are needed!

Bible
(Books below)
Support and spiritual learning
To dream of a bible or any religious book helps you to connect spiritually with God or the highest source of energy available to you. You may be aware that you need spiritual advice or help while on life’s journey.
Sometimes, when we do not know which way to turn our dreams point us in this direction. The Bible brings you hope and understanding; you are not alone in this life even if you feel that you are. The lessons that we learn along the way are what make us complete and an all-round spiritual being, no learning is ever wasted, and it is the overall experience that counts. Unconditional love and support are sent to help guide you on your way.

Spiritual Knowledge.
Spiritual Guidance.

Bicycle

(Destination/Journey/Transport)
The journey dream
A bicycle offers an alternative way of getting along during the next phase of your journey through life. You need to put in a little extra effort to move forward, increase your motivation, and drive to propel yourself in the direction you wish to take. A bicycle is a single passenger mode of travelling and requires you to use a separate set of instincts than driving a motor vehicle, this helps you understand that the next part of your journey needs to be done alone and requires you to be stronger and more organised than you have needed to be in the past. The next phase will also require that you find an inner peace so that you can ride smoothly over and through any obstacles that you meet on your way.
There is a certain amount of freedom and enjoyment that can be gained from using a bicycle as a means of transport, in the same way, that there are benefits to being single or working alone. Travel dreams occur when we want to move forward with our life and the transport that we use in a dream represents the help we need to make that progress; a bicycle requires you to use your own energy. Transport also helps to explain how quickly you need to move things along and if you are moving too fast or not fast enough, a bike is an ideal symbol to explain this situation to you. Think about if you were going uphill or downhill or if the ride was smooth etc. Did you have the energy to move forward or did you find it hard work doing it all by yourself, also consider if there were any problems with the bike in your dream?

Birth
(Baby above/Body below)
(Pregnancy)
(Dreaming during Pregnancy)
Love and nurture
In dream language, a birth will often describe new beginnings and the potential for growth for the things that you have created. Sometimes a woman dreams of giving birth when the time has arrived for her to deliver what she has been working on. Any complications that you experience in your dream birth will represent obstacles in the way of your success. For example, a baby that is too big for delivery will tell you that you have taken on too much for it to go smoothly. Your project might create more work than you can cope with.

To dream of giving birth to twins can symbolise a project that will require help and support from other people, or perhaps you have two projects on the go at once and will need to juggle the two so that both get an equal chance of success. Seeing a smaller more vulnerable twin will mean that you will struggle to give both projects an equal amount of energy and time.

Giving birth to something strange, i.e. something that isn’t a baby is a way to understand that either you haven’t got a clue what you are doing and are putting your energy and time into something that hasn't got very much chance of developing, it depends what you gave birth to. This type of dream has also happened when you need to deliver something that someone else needs, it could be anything, and therefore the symbolism can only be worked out yourself. I know a lady who dreamed she gave birth to a kidney; she was later in a situation where she was asked by a close family member if she would donate a kidney. Therefore, dreaming of delivering a body part can be used to describe a situation where you have to provide or deliver something that someone else needs. Essential organs might be taking it a bit too far but it’s generally about someone needing something from you that you need yourself.

If you give birth to a monster or to a composite ‘being’ then you are being shown how you can create a monster by your own actions, and then must deal with the consequences of those actions.

To dream that a baby dies during the birth helps you to understand that the time isn’t right for you to do the things you want to do, your dream has died for the moment but there is always the possibility of bringing that dream into reality again in the future.

Birthday
A milestone
If you dream that it is your birthday this can help you recognise a milestone that you have reached in your life, it is a time to reflect upon all the work that you have put into being successful and celebrate how far you have come to reach the present stage in your life.
Your special day!

Bitten
Life's trials and tribulations
To dream that you are bitten in a dream can show how you are open to getting hurt by the words of other people. It can also be a play on words in that you have bitten off more than you can chew. If you are bitten by insects or animals, it can represent how you are being aggravated by people or circumstances that are around you now. When animals bite us in a dream it usually helps us to acknowledge how we can be troubled by another person’s hurtful character and their spiteful remarks. Being bitten by an animal that wouldn't normally bite helps you understand when someone is pushed to their limits and bites back.
(See Venom in V)
A snake bite symbolises the beginning of a time of learning, you must go through a certain amount of pain before you can gain anything of value, the snake often represents the cycle of life and of learning from experience. Snake bites can also be a warning of being hurt by a sneaky person.
Bitten off more than you can chew?
Someone has left their mark on you.

Black Figures
(Invisible forces)
(Black Figures Dream)
Fear of the unknown

Black figures usually represent anything negative, perhaps you are not fully aware where the negativity is coming from or who it might represent, there is also the possibility that it is collective negativity or a variety of different aspects, even from yourself.

Negativity collects from many different sources and the black figure can be used as a representation of that, they are often cloaked as well, which gives credibility to the fact that this creation is cloaked and therefore its identity is hidden from you. What the Black figure is doing in the dream should be considered, most likely it is frightening you in some way and this is viewed as a fear dream. In conclusion, the black figure represents all the things that you fear, self-created or otherwise. The real fear is dealing with what or who created all the different aspects of negativity and finding a cure.

Black is also the colour used to present the void or the between state of the conscious mind. In its purist form it will be seen as the blackest black and rather than viewing it as negative, it is a place of peace and rest before the next part of the spiritual journey.

Blanket
(Cover)

Warmth and love
Blankets are used to get or give warmth and protection from the elements. (Outside circumstances) Consider if the blanket is fit for purpose and look at things like colours and materials. Where do you normally get your security from? because it's likely the blanket will represent that source.
A security blanket?

Blindness
(Eyes in Body below)
(Blindness in Nightmares)
Fear dream and ignorance
Blindness is an obstacle dream showing you how you need to open your eyes and see the true picture. Perhaps you do not have all the information that you need to see your next step forward. Blindness can also show spiritual ignorance and the need to widen your horizons and increase your knowledge regards spiritual growth.

Blindness can also explain how you are sometimes blind to someone's faults.

If you can't open your eyes in a dream its because you are refusing to see the truth of a matter, think about what stands in the way of you being able to see your way forward. Try to accept that you are ultimately responsible for how people treat you; you are the one who chooses to allow it.

Being lost!

Boa Constrictor
(Animals-Snakes)
Characters and characteristics

This tropical snake will represent a person or situation that becomes overbearing, suffocating the dreamer.

A hot-headed person with a cold heart.

Constraint!

Boa (Feather)

Having fun

A feather Boa informs the dreamer that they should let themselves go and relax the strict routine that dominates life. The feminine charm.

Boat
(Capsizing/Journey)
(Raft/Sails/Transport/Travel)
(Water/Yacht)
The journey dream
In dream language, boats link with our emotions and represent the way we get over them or ride the waves that come along for us to deal with. The boat itself provides a symbol for the balancing mechanism that we need to stay afloat when we are on an emotional journey. Think about how well equipped you are when dealing with your emotions, do you need to make changes or reinforcements? The journey you make in a boat represents how well you deal with the current emotional phase and the boat itself represents resilience and buoyancy.

A boat can also present the shared emotional journey especially if other people are in your boat; you are all in the same boat! The type of boat you are in can help with the overall meaning. If it is a rowboat then you must try and understand your own emotions and guide them in a forward direction, rather than letting them carry you along aimlessly. If the boat has an engine, then you tend to ignore your emotional attachments and power on-wards regardless of the ripples that you cause.

Body
All about you, your strengths, weaknesses and your ability to keep upright under the pressures of life

The way in which our bodies function in our dreams can help us to acknowledge how we feel about ourselves concerning our physical and mental health. The physical body can be overwhelmed by the daily grind of life and this often manifests in our dreams as physical manifestations that can be weird or strange. This is a way to get you to understand that you are dealing with issues that are strange or weird to you personally, its not something you have dealt with before. Different parts of the body might give a clue as to what the dream is trying to bring your attention to, and the body parts can be linked with different scenarios to help you understand a situation better. For example, a dream where one’s legs are stuck in cement will happen because there is a feeling of not being able to move forward, the dreamer can identify the cement as providing a symbol for the obstacle that you are dealing with, and the obstacle will often be understood by the dreamer because they know what's happening in their life at that time. In this type of dream, you should also interpret legs as well as cement for a complete translation. When the inner feeling has been acknowledged the dreamer can start to identify ways in which to free themselves from the cement and work towards freedom.

Body parts can help towards a more informed translation and are useful to describe how you or someone else feels, especially when its hard to put it into words. Dream symbols using body parts can also hint at a health issue so its for the dreamer to decide which translation suits them best.

Abdomen
The abdomen is seen as the source of your energy stores, the solar plexus is where energy is filtered and delivered to where it is needed. If there is something wrong with your abdomen, then the dream is reacting to changes in your energy availability. Something in the tummy would suggest there is an issue that you are keeping to yourself and it will cause an imbalance or upset if you don’t deal with it.
If a baby is growing in your tummy then you are nurturing something that has the potential for growth, but only if it is nurtured and cared for. Your prospects will start off small but then grow and mature, if they are given enough attention. Pregnancy can be shown in this way.
The navel or belly button is often used to describe things that you are attached to, it can describe situations whereby an attachment is broken or lost. Because it is where we were attached to our 'mothers' before birth, the symbolism might link with the mother-child relationship.
I translated a dream for someone who dreamed that they had a hernia type swelling on their navel, it grew and grew and changed into different shapes, even into different body parts, at times the growth type 'thing' was sore and swollen, hard and soft, and then suddenly it dropped off and left a gaping hole in their tummy.
The dream was about the relationship she had with her mum over the years, the relationship grew and developed over time, sometimes easy, sometimes hard, occasionally there were sore moments in there too.
The things that the growth changed into described the different dynamics within their relationship, for example at one stage the growth turned into a penis looking shape, which made sense because mum had brought her daughter up herself and had to be both mum and dad. It changed into arm type shapes, which would symbolise being her right arm and someone to support her. The relationship changed shape over the years and it changed the daughter and it changed her mum. When the appendage dropped off it left a gaping hole and this is when the daughter acknowledges that she may have found their relationship difficult to understand, hard and uncomfortable at times, as well as supportive and loving, but when it is severed it will undoubtedly leave a massive hole inside of her. The growth represents the growth process, of both of them and their relationship. Now, on first viewing the dream was ridiculous and very weird, one of those dreams where you wake up and think what on earth was that about, but when it is translated it all makes perfect sense.
Arms
Our arms can represent our personal strength and power; they are also used to show passion or welcoming.
Being armed is to be prepared!
To give your right arm for something?
Back/Backbone
A backbone also represents your strengths and weaknesses, it keeps you upright and provides a symbol of support.
Support!
Have some backbone!
Blood
Blood is our internal life force, therefore if you lose blood in a dream it can denote losing vital energy when there is a need to preserve it. Blood can symbolise the hurt and afflictions that we have had to endure and how they can drain us and make us feel below par. Blood can also be used in dreams to help you understand the need to put blood and guts into a project/relationship to ensure it can survive.
Bones
(Backbone above/Skeleton)
Bones provide a symbol for our support system; our skeleton keeps us upright and moving as we should be and therefore may symbolise your ability to stay upright when times are difficult. Any problems with your bones in a dream will highlight your own weaknesses and your ability to keep going under intense pressure. Broken bones remind you that wounds will heal given time. Bones can represent the past and how it sculpts the present day.
Bones of contention.
Break from the past.
Picking at the bones of a problem?
Breasts
Breasts often represent the nurturing aspect of a person or their need to take care of others.
Someone wants mothering?
Excrement
(Faeces/Poo)
The expelling of the things that we do not need anymore. But if it is someone else’s excrement you must deal with in your dream, then it is their negative behaviour that affects you.
Getting rid of negativity.
Getting rid of waste.
Clearing up another person’s crap?
Constantly dealing with crap?

Eyes
(Blindness above)
(Blindness in Nightmares)
In dream language, windows are sometimes used as a substitute for your eyes and for your seeing abilities, not in the physical sense but more in the way that you see things logically. Windows are used because it is easier to translate sublime messages this way; broken windows, for example, explain how you are not seeing the reality of a situation or that your way of thinking is broken or obscured by other people and their beliefs. These types of dreams are more about your outlook and the way you feel about the world around you. Many sayings link with our eyes and you should consider if any are appropriate for the type of dream you have had.
An eye for an eye.
To catch someone’s eye.
See eye to eye.
Have a keen eye for something.
In the public eye.
Face
This image is used to demonstrate the 'face' that we show to other people or the face they show to us. When we look at someone’s face, we do not always see what is going on behind the mask. Dream images connected to the face can give you an insight as to what is really going on. If your face is distorted in some way in the dream, then you have distorted views. Disfigurements in dreams portray a disfigured idea of what we look like, or think like, that includes our insecurities, etc.
Face your problems head-on.
Face your fears.
Face facts.
Face the truth.
Feet
(Barefoot above/Shoes)
Our feet link with our stability and ability to get along on our own merit. The feet are also used in journey dreams to represent personal progress, the type of shoes you wear in a dream highlight the comfort and ease in which you move forward at your own pace.
Put your best foot forward!
Hair
(Baldness above/Brush below)
(Comb/Tangle)
The symbol of hair can be interpreted in a few separate ways in dream translation and it is for you to decide on the appropriate meaning. Feelings about your looks are often portrayed by your hair and losing your hair in a dream can highlight your insecurities and fears about your own attractiveness.
Hair is viewed as a symbol of vitality and strength and baldness is used as a symbol of wisdom. Having long or thick beautiful hair in a dream is a way for you to recognise your own self-confidence, power, and worth, these things can grow over time.
Combing your hair can describe untangling a mental dilemma or getting your thoughts in order, but you could also be straightening out your financial affairs or anything that needs bringing back to order.
Cutting your hair can help you to acknowledge that making cutbacks will help to bring order and that you need to re-establish a refined approach to finances and your financial stresses.
Cutting or shaving all your hair off in a dream is a way to show your disapproval or anger at a situation or person who has wronged you or treated you unfairly, it is done as a protest.
If there are insects in your hair in a dream then most likely they will represent the minor aggravations that you have to deal with mentally, those small but annoying problems that are difficult to eradicate.
Washing your hair is a way to get rid of the negativity that builds up in your mind. Tying your hair up is linked with getting on with things and being ready for action.
Mentally de-stress.
Let your hair down.
Hands
Hands represent your ability to 'create' and therefore can help you see what you can achieve using the natural attributes that you possess.
Washing your hands symbolises the washing away of negativity that prevents you from using your talents. You could also be washing your hands of somebody or of a situation that you can do nothing more to help.
The right hand is the giver and the left hand is the receiver.
To shake hands is to forgive.

Lend a hand.
Shake on a deal?
Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing?
Head
The thinking and logical part of us.
Use your head.
Intelligence and problem-solving.
To lose your head is to throw all caution to the wind.
Heart
The heart has obvious connotations of compassion, understanding, and love, so to dream of the heart in any way will often link with these things. Any problems with the heart in your dream will bring your attention to problems relating to the heart and its capabilities to love and be loved, wounds and afflictions that have caused hurt and damage either past or present which now need to be acknowledged and dealt with.
The heart of a problem!
Kidneys
The kidneys are used occasionally in dreams to show a filtering system, for example filtering the negative from the positive and therefore cleansing. Sometimes kidney dreams are literal and highlight a problem with the waterworks.
Cleanse yourself of impurities.
Legs
The means at your disposal of getting along or making progress. Any problems with your legs represent obstacles regards your ability to move forward with your plans.
Do the leg work?
Lips
In dreams, your lips will link with personal fulfilment and expressing the sensual side of yourself towards others. Wearing lipstick is a way of having your sensual side noticed.
Lungs
The lungs are another symbol used in dream language to help you understand the process of cleansing and of getting rid of negativity. Breathe in the good and exhale the bad, you will have a clearer understanding of what’s going on when you take time to contemplate.
Any problems with your breathing in a dream simply imply that there are difficulties with taking in positive energy and letting the negative things go. The lungs can also be used to express the feeling of suffocation either by your circumstance or being trapped by responsibility. You do not feel that you have freedom or your own breathing space.
Mouth
(Teeth below)
(Common dreams losing teeth)
The mouth will often link with the things you say!
If you have problems with talking in your dream it helps you to acknowledge that you are not communicating the things you want to say in the right way, other people do not really understand you. We also use our mouth for eating and this links with how fulfilled we feel. Any dream symbol that involves the mouth will be linked to communication and self-fulfilment.
Neck
Being strangled is to have your voice suppressed or your vital energy cut off, perhaps being overcome by someone else's personality. A broken neck means you cant keep your head up straight, therefore, you need to look at why you can't hold your head up high, this will link with self-esteem or shame.
Keep your head on your shoulders and be savvy.
Nose
Poking your nose in or using your intuition to sniff out what is going on around you, you might need to find the cause of a problem or acknowledge current ideas to help you make progress. A nose can also be used as a symbol for the things that you ‘know’.
A nose for business.
Intuition.
Nosey?
Scalp
In Native American culture to take a scalp means quite simply to overcome your opposition. The scalp connects with the mind and any problems with the scalp can show how you are being affected mentally by outside circumstances.
An itchy scalp is used to represent things that get on your nerves.
Sex
(See Sex Dreams in S)
Sexual dreams often highlight our needs, wants and desires. If you are having sex with someone who you know, who you wouldn't in the waking state it is because in dreams we can try out different partners to see if they have some qualities that we desire. If you do not know the person at all it is because you do not understand what you require from a relationship or from the type of person that you think you need to be with.
Sex dreams are more prominent when there are things that you need to understand about relationships, love and their connections to sex. These dreams are also experienced more often when there is a lack of sex and sharing yourself with another person.
Our own perception of sex can be challenged through our dreams and any hang-ups or unreasonable ideas can be worked through safely while in the dream environment. Sometimes sex and love dreams persist and recur because an expression of love is unable to be made in the waking life.
Sexual organs
Dreaming about your sexual organs will probably link with how you feel and think about sex. If there is a problem with your physicality in a dream it might well be getting to you to think about a problem with your sexual health, sexual identity, sexual preferences, or issues that you have regards your sex life. These types of dreams often link with masculinity and femininity and happen when you need to find balance with sexual relationships and your own ideas about being accepted for who you are.
Skin
The skin provides a shield and defence against the outside world, but it is also our receptor for being touched; allowing others to touch us signifies that we allow them into our personal space. Hard skin will help you think about the way you have been hardened by circumstances, and rough skin can symbolise feeling rough.
Problems are only skin deep.
Teeth
(Common Dreams/Teeth)
Making life changes and transitions.
Loss and fear.
Poor communication.

Lack of nourishment and fulfilment.
Decay and growth.
Throat
If something gets stuck in your throat in a dream, then perhaps you have information that you cannot give out; you feel gagged or suppressed.
Choking can explain a blockage in communication, you cannot 'live' with something that is bothering you.
Tongue
If your tongue is too big for your mouth, then you can be tactless with words or you are not speaking up when you should. Use it or curb it, whichever is more appropriate.
Womb/Pregnancy
The womb usually represents a woman’s ability to give and sustain life, looking after and nurturing the best in others as well as herself. A responsibility that requires care and attention from the dreamer.
The mother!

Boiling
Anything that is boiling in your dream will most likely link with something that is bubbling away below the surface, emotionally speaking, heat can be used to describe passion and love as well as overheated tempers or underlying anger. You should think about what is being boiled in your dream, water always symbolises emotions, but if there is something else boiling in a pot then look up that symbol as well.
Thermostats replicate the act of trying to access someone's feelings for you, are they hot or cold, etc.
Another translation might be when something is 'hot' or stolen, it's not yours to have.
Is something too hot to handle?

Bolts
(Tools)
(Lightning Bolts)
(Machinery)
What or who keeps things together
In dreams, any type of nuts and bolts can be used to portray security and the idea about keeping things together. Loose nuts and bolts warn you about the risk of things falling apart. It depends on what the bolts are being used for in your dream to gain a clearer interpretation. The nuts and bolts of a problem can be assessed to help you solve issues to keep things together.

Bomb
(Energy/Explosion)
Bombs signify an explosive situation or disruption to your plans; these types of situations are generally brought about by outside circumstances or other people.

Do you need to put a bomb under someone to get them moving?
Dangerous information?
Who is going to drop a bombshell?

Books
(Bible above/Computer/Library/Reading)
Knowledge and learning
There is information available to you that can help you make progress in areas of your life where you feel stuck. Books help us learn, they teach us things that we need or want to know, they transcend time and offer knowledge from previous experience. Bibles or holy books refer more to your spiritual outlook and learning, the message might be to consider all the information that is ‘out there’ and if it could help your own understanding of spiritual matters.
If there are lots of books in your dream then its a way for you to understand how much information is out there, or how other people's experiences could help you to understand your own. Dusty books are telling you to dust up your knowledge and learn something new.
A wealth of knowledge!
Spiritual direction.
Learning from experience.Information that you need.

Bottles
Potential and growth
There are many meanings of bottles in dreams depending on the type of bottles seen. Baby bottles link with the nurturing side of people and the need to look after something for it to grow and develop.
Bottles of alcohol can link to dependency and the need to consider or acknowledge the amount of alcohol you drink. Alcohol can also be used to show a time to let your hair down and a need to enjoy the social aspects of life occasionally so decide which sort of translation is appropriate for you or somebody around you. Bottles, jars, and alcohol are used to ‘preserve’ so you should consider what you are trying to preserve it could be your energy, your health or your integrity.

Box
(Chest)
Potential
Something could be hidden from you, or at least it has been put away until you can deal with it. If you see what is inside the box, then translate that as well.
Boxed in?

Moving?
A gift box represents a gift you are given, not always of monetary value but perhaps a spiritual gift. This type of dream can also be used to represent the 'now' or the 'present'.
Appreciate and value what you do have!
You are gifted so don’t hide it!

Bracket
(Shelf/Structure)
Support
A bracket of any kind is used to describe a support system that holds you up when you are under pressure, but if the bracket is broken or not doing the job it was designed for then this dream is reminding you that there are issues with your usual form of support. Translate what the bracket is being used for in your dream to get further information.

Bread
(Baker/Flour/Food)
Creativity and potential
Bread can provide a symbol for money which you might need to feel content. It explains how the raw ingredients you have available to you can be mixed together to create something else of more significance and value or simply provide you with the money you need.
Hot bread or buns tell you that something is now ready or has become fruitful, but stale bread tells you that something has lost its value or become stale, this could be your own enthusiasm, or a relationship has become stale.

Bricks
(Buildings below/Cement/Walls)
(Structures)
Support and protection
Bricks represent the building blocks that you have available to you which can potentially build something of value and eventually provide security. Bricks create structures that ensure future success for whatever it is you are trying to build, home and relationships or financial security. Your investments must have a well-thought-out and secure base to start from and then each brick you lay down will all fit together to create something of strength and longevity.
If bricks are loose or broken in your dream then this is prompting you to make repairs wherever they are needed, so that problems do not eventually affect the way your life is structured. It might be a relationship that needs repairing to uphold the structure or layout of your life.
Bricks can also symbolise anything that is built up over time, hard feelings and thoughts for example so consider how the bricks are being used in your dream to get a clearer idea of the translation. If they are not being used to build and they are being used in a negative way like being thrown or used as a weapon, then the symbolism will link more with how negative actions will eventually affect the way your life is structured.

Bride/Bridegroom
Love and relationships
You may be trying to unite two sides of your own personality or make different ideas blend in a way that will work.
Unions.
Partnerships.

Commitments.

Bridge
(Destination/Journey)
(The Rope Bridge Dream)
(Bridges and Tunnels)
(Structures)
The structure and support you have to help you reach your goals
A bridge is used as a symbol for connections over emotional phases; they help you move onward without having to be emotionally involved. Spiritually, bridges can represent the contact made with our spiritual selves and the need to get over obstacles that stand in the way of progression or enlightenment. They can also connect us with loved ones who have passed into the next phase of life.
Building, or repairing bridges helps you to understand how you need to repair relationships before you can move forward. Being under a bridge simply implies that you do not wish to make a transition or move forward and that you hide from the challenges that you are faced with. Being stuck on a bridge tells you a little more effort is needed on your part to go further and cross the bridge from one place in your life into another.
A rope bridge is typically used in dreams to represent the fragility or the strength of your own resolve. Consider how strong you feel when having to get over the obstacles that you are presented with.
A bridge links two phases of our life.
Support during transitions.
Bridge over troubled waters.

Broken
(Dismantle)
(Machines)
(Structures)
Feelings and emotions
If something is broken in a dream then it brings your attention to the fact that something in your life needs repair, you will, of course, have to work out exactly what needs mending, but this dream merely wants you to think about if this is possible for you to do. Sometimes we are shown that something is broken beyond repair; this is so that we can accept this and move forward in another direction.
Breakages in a dream could symbolise breakups or picking up the pieces left behind by broken bonds, you could be trying to reassemble the remnants of a damaged relationship. Cracks help us to understand how cracks can appear in relationships and if left unchecked will continue until there is a complete ruin.

Broom
(Cleaning/Dust/Sweeping)
(Tidying up Dream)
(Tools)
Your tools and abilities
A broom represents the tools that you have at hand to clear away negativity when you are presented with it in its many forms; these tools are skills that you have developed over time to deal with hurt or hindrances that are in your way. Dust, for example, describes remnants from the past, so you are attempting to use the skills you have acquired to clear your space of all the negative things that have built up over time.
A clean sweep.

Bruises
Pain and healing

Bruises can symbolise small hurts that are caused by other people’s actions or words.
A bruised ego.

Brush/Comb
(Hair/Knots/Tangle)
Your tools and skills to repair and mend
It doesn’t really matter what you are brushing or combing in a dream you are basically trying to unravel a situation or untangle your own thoughts and feelings. If you are brushing your hair, then perhaps you are mentally attempting to work out a solution for an ongoing problem that you have in your life. You are untangling what has happened so that you feel at your best and can carry on.
To be brushing an animal is to try and untangle somebody’s nature or personality, you are trying to understand them or help them understand themselves, and it could be that their own nature or personality has put them in their current situation.
Knots and tangles are viewed as problems that need to be straightened out, but when you can’t untangle knots in a dream then the dream is helping you to understand that you can’t straighten out every problem that comes along.
Unpick problems one by one.
Knots of contention.

Buildings
(Home/House/Rooms/Structures)
The structures you have in place to create a stable life
There is a lot of different symbolism available from buildings in dream language; they can help you to understand the strength of the things that you are trying to build around you. Buildings can help to explain how your life is structured and the support network that you have in place. Buildings have also been used in dreams to explain the past and your connections to specific times of importance or how your life was structured then, in comparison to now.
Buildings require care and attention to stay upright and protected from the elements and this will represent your own defence system or ability to be unaffected by outside interference. Overall, buildings will symbolise the structure of your life at home or work and help you to incorporate current ideas so that you can upkeep and support your own future.
Different types of Buildings
Castles
Your home is your castle and it needs to be at the forefront of your motivation for success. It represents your resilience and how well you protect yourself and your loved ones from negativity or attack. You should take note of the condition of the castle in your dream and its ability to withstand battle should it commence. The walls of a castle are built to defend from intruders, to protect the inhabitants from the outside world or from real life and what it throws at you.
Church/Cathedrals/Temples
Places of worship define the spiritual journey that you are on and how this combines with your home-life. There is a need to start recognising that you should develop your spiritual self which is equally important as concentrating on the materialistic side of your life.
To seek the divine or the higher power you would visit a place of worship and gain help when all else has failed. A sanctuary for solace and prayer and a place to begin a spiritual journey.
Your body and mind are a temple.
House
When you dream of your own house the dream is referring to your own personal environment and the way it is structured at any given moment in time. (Past present or future)
Dreams can bring information to your mind that you haven’t considered and when you are taken to a house that you used to live in it's because there was something there that you need to remember now. It might be the feeling associated with that time and place, like security, people anything which you might need you to compare to how things are structured now. Visiting a property from the past also happens because you feel as though you have left something of yourself there, it might be happy or sad memories which changed your life and forced you to grow up. You will also visit a childhood home in a dream because you need to find the child within you once again; it was a time when you were not bogged down in responsibility. Perhaps you wish to recapture a sense of freedom that your childhood contained.
The state of the house is important and helps you to process and recognise your current situation. A messy house, for example, is a straightforward way for you to understand that you need to clear up chaotic situations that become a burden to the setup and layout of your life. Houses are often used in dreams to show us obstacles that can affect our home life, the doors are too narrow, or the windows won't open; this is so that you realise there are certain restrictions for you to negotiate before you can become content with your lot. Making changes to your set up will make life easier for you.
An empty house can represent the emptiness you feel inside, the loneliness or a lack of physical comfort. The rooms in the house can be used to explain the different sections of your life and how they all fit together. You might notice that there are obstacles between one section of your life and another, perhaps your work life does not merge very well with your home life, or you are struggling to help personalities get on at home.
The rooms of a building can describe the many different sections of your life and how you keep them all apart from each other or integrate them, for example, keeping your working life separate from your home life or finding a balance between the two. The different rooms inside a house can also help to explain how you are feeling on the inside. Sometimes it is difficult to put your feelings in order and these types of dreams help you sort through and organise your thoughts and feelings about a current situation or issue.
To dream of an old house that you used to live in happens when there is a wish to return to a time that holds something important to you, perhaps you feel that something is missing right now that you had back then, or you miss the people or the security that you had at that time. You might be looking for a part of yourself that you have lost, like youth, freedom or happiness.
Houses are a responsibility and sometimes we dream of them because we struggle daily to deal with the responsibilities of home or home life.
Dreaming of a messy house is a common theme when you feel that everything is a mess in your personal life and no matter how quickly you tidy up one calamity surpasses another. An empty house will help you to understand how you feel uncared for or lacking in all forms of comfort.
To dream of problems in any of the rooms helps you to understand the area or the section of your life that requires attention or remedy.
Living room
How you live now and where you are supposed to relax. Problems with this room in your dream relate to your everyday life and how you feel about living right now,
Bedroom
The relationship room, rest, sleep and your personal space and who you choose to share it with.
Kitchen
The kitchen is viewed as the workroom and can be used to explain the work that you do for others and what you create in the way of fulfilment for them, also if or not you can keep up with the demands of family life. It is here that you clean away the negativity that builds up and where you cater to everyone's needs. Are your needs neglected? The kitchen helps to portray the way families work together and the energy you all contribute to creating balance and harmony in each other's life.
Bathroom/Toilet
(Faeces/Poo)
This room links with the emotions and getting rid of negativity. Flushing the toilet symbolises getting rid of waste and negativity. This type of symbol could also highlight problems with your physical plumbing, your kidneys, etc.
The bathroom and toilet are used to clean away negativity and get rid of all the waste that you no longer need in your life, a form of self-cleansing and rejuvenating so that you can carry on with your daily grind.
Floors
Floors can sometimes be used to symbolise when you are floored by something or get knocked down by life. Floor coverings like carpet, lino, or hardwood floors help to give an example of what is available to cushion your fall. The condition of the floor often contributes to this type of symbolism, a threadbare carpet might give the added meaning of feeling worn-out or worn-down.
Being floored by something?
Walls
(Bricks/Cement)
The walls in your house are built to protect you from the outside world and the condition of them in your dream can help to explain how well you are protected from the environment created by other people, and how secure you feel within that environment.
Other types of walls simply represent barriers or obstacles to overcome, the condition of the wall might give you some clues as to how easily you will break down or overcome the barriers that you face.
A wall that is crumbling or broken reminds you that defences can be broken down; time itself wears down stubborn barriers. It may, of course, be your own defences that are wearing thin.
Repairs to a relationship to uphold the security of a home?
Windows and Doors
(Windows in W)
(Doors in D)
Windows also create a barrier to the outside world and are sometimes used in dream language as a symbol for what you can see from your own perspective. You do not have a complete and clear view of what is going on in the outside world, perhaps you fear to leave the safety of your private and protected cocoon.
Dirty or broken windows help to explain how your view is obscured by the passing of time; you are not seeing things clearly because the distance of time has become a barrier to your clear thinking.
Doors also create a barrier and can be viewed as an obstacle, particularly so if something is preventing you from opening or closing a door in your dream. If the door is open then you are being shown a way out of a current situation, you are being reminded that the door is always open for change to begin. If, however, you cannot close a door it will represent the fact that you find it impossible to close the door on someone who you feel ‘needs you’. Or perhaps you find it difficult to close the door on the past and move forward. Doors help you to understand how the different sections of your life integrate, how you manage to combine your work life, love life and family life. Interactions between all these things can be described using the door scenario.
Locking windows or doors is done to keep intruders at bay; you are protecting yourself from negative people and their actions or perhaps you wish to be alone and are locking life itself outside.
The condition of the house
Problems with the house in your dream can help you to acknowledge problems that you are currently experiencing; mending, redecorating or cleaning brings your attention to the fact that you need to spring clean your life, get rid of old and outdated ideas or anything that harms you and your home life.
A house that looks beautiful and is full of wonderful things reassures you that times will change, and you are heading for a more comfortable and secure time at home. You have created a warm and welcoming place for people and your payment is a place in their heart.

Bulldozer

(Demolished)
Your power and destructiveness
A bulldozer is used as a symbol for any situation or person who pushes their way into your life to cause destruction or upheaval. Bulldozers are also used to remove obstacles that stand in your way, I would say that you are well equipped to deal with people who cause destruction in your life and you will be able to start building something stronger when the dust has settled. Make sure it's not symbolic for your own destructive nature, perhaps you tend to self-destruct or knock down your own creations.

Burglar
(Intruder)
Fear of loss
A burglar dream is trying to warn you to be careful with people who can take something from you, what they are taking in the dream may need translating as well, but they could be taking your energy, time or money.
An energy thief.

Burial
(Death/Mortuary)
Transitions
This dream isn't an omen of death but more about letting go of the past and of buried feelings. Letting something go that has died or ceased to be valid anymore.
Trying to bury or hide problems!
Saying goodbye to a certain time of life!
Feeling buried in problems!

Burn
(Fire)
Love, power, and destruction
Heat are fire are used as symbols of passion and anger, or any inflamed emotional reaction, therefore, to get burnt in a dream can help you to understand the extent of hurt caused by other people’s anger or misguided passions. The extent of the burn will represent the extent of hurt and pain caused.
To see buildings burn is to watch the destruction of the structure or set up of your current situation, changes will happen quickly, but they will make way for the foundations of a new more secure future. Fire can symbolise being consumed by your own fear.
To put a fire out is to quash and dilute overheated feelings.
If you play with fire you will get burnt!

Buttons
Count your blessings
Buttons can be used to express the many different notions and ideas that you have.
Button it!
Make connections!
Lack of Money!

Cables
(Energy/Internet/Telephone/Wiring)(Machinery)
Communication and connections
Cables can help you to understand how well energy connects to where it is needed; they carry an energy source, therefore, can be symbolic for the energy transference required either between people or from yourself to the thing that you want. Important symbolism can come from what energy type the cables are carrying and if there are breakages or notable damage, this will help to explain your own energy conversion or your ability to convert your energy into action.

If the cables are computer cables or telephone wires for example, then this will link with communication and the quality of connections with other people. The transference of your energy to where it is needed to create a connection with someone. Underground cables might be highlighting what's going on beneath the surface, being aware that cables are damaged or broken underground in a dream helps you to recognise when someone has hidden their damage away, you might need to work very hard to uncover the issues and repair them. Cables that are up high have a similar message with the emphasis being about something being out of reach or unattainable, perhaps you just don't have the energy or tools needed to repair the extent of the damage. Because cables are often used to carry communication from one place to another I would think about communication being the important symbol in this type of dream.
Cables that carry electricity can be used to describe a spiritual transference, from the source to the individual for example and breakages or problems with electrical cables might be about problems connecting with the higher source. Electricity is also used as an example of the electric energy between people and the message might be to do with that.

Cactus
Characteristics
A cactus can portray a prickly natured person not given to emotional expression, but they can survive for a lengthy period of time without water (unemotional) and could symbolise a person’s ability to cope well in harsh conditions, therefore, both translations might be appropriate.

Café
(Eating/Food/Restaurant)
Fulfilment and change
A Café represents the feeling of needing to be looked after or taken care of; we seek food when we crave attention or the feeling of satisfaction. You are seeking fulfilment from other sources in your life, not always from a person though, because sometimes we need a new job or hobby to help create that satisfaction. You are fed up doing everything required of you and would rather be free to do as you choose.

Cage
(Claustrophobic Dreams)
Fear dream about not being able to escape
Dreams where you are locked in somehow and can't get out simply show that you feel confined within your present situation, it is self-explanatory. If you are locked in an animal cage then this would suggest that you are being treated unfairly or that someone’s personality is keeping you enslaved, you feel as though you have lost your personal freedom. If someone else is in a cage then this helps you to understand how they feel, perhaps they feel trapped by circumstance.
Control?
Someone being cagey?
Feeling trapped?

Cake
(Bake/Baker/Food/Cooking)
Joys and comfort
The pleasant things in life can be described to you in this way but also bring your awareness to the fact that the components you mix together can create something that's pleasant and fulfilling. Baking often symbolises mixing together your talents to create something nice for other people to enjoy. This will help you to understand more about what you are trying to create in your life, anything from a satisfying relationship to a fortuitous business.
If you are baking a cake it will depend on how the cake turns out because the symbolism can be trying to explain your attempts at being creative, practice makes perfect and your skills and talents will help towards creating a better future, one which will bring contentment. What goes into or on the cake are the raw ingredients that you possess and must be channelled to be of use.
A birthday cake foretells a time of celebration and is used to mark a happy memorable time or a personal milestone.
Having your cake and eating it?
Are you looking for enjoyable experiences to help you feel more contented?

Constant dreaming about being unable to obtain cake?
This is a dream I have had for years and it is becoming more and more distressing. It happens in many different ways, but the gist is that I want or need a cake, and I am unable to obtain it because of whatever reason!
Concentrate on what the cake is actually symbolic of in your life? It's obviously symbolic for something nice, think of the saying 'have your cake and eat it 'meaning you want everything all at once and are not prepared to give up something for it, like not giving up your freedom for a relationship say. Just an example but I guess you have to work out what the cake symbolises or what it is that you actually want. Do you ever want things you can't have? Recurring dreams happen when you haven't resolved an issue. They will continue and change if you have solved it in a small way. Your dream is an obstacle dream where you are always trying to get somewhere or get something, so it is about the things that stand in your way of getting what you want to help you feel contented and fulfilled. You seem to be out looking for the good things in life and the fact that you cant find it could be because you don't know exactly what you are looking for, all you know is it is something nice.

Callus
Healing and pain
Hard work is having an effect on your mood and well being.
Hard skin can symbolise that you have hardened to circumstance.
Is someone being callus, or unkind?

Camel
(Animals)
Personalities and characteristics
Ironically this is probably presenting you with someone who has the hump, but self-preservation could be an appropriate translation depending on other symbols in the dream.
Perseverance, when no one is helping!

Camera
(Photographs/Film)
(Photograph and Camera Dream)
(Machinery)
Time and change

Cameras help you to remember specific times or characters from a certain period in your life, there may be information or experience from a certain time in your past that you need to remember now. If you are taking photographs with a camera then you are trying to capture a specific moment in time, and this helps you to take a closer look at a situation and to see it with more clarity perhaps you haven't noticed all the good things in your life and give more attention to the negative things that are going on. Sometimes you are shown a snapshot of the future in this way. What you are taking a photo of could have more significance. A broken camera could explain how you do not allow yourself to appreciate 'the now' perhaps you are always in a hurry to make progress or move on. You can't make lasting memories by rushing things.
A camera taking pictures on its own could describe when you let life pass you by, and you need to get out there and be seen.
Make good memories!
Take a time-out to appreciate the present!
Snap decisions?
A snappy person?

Camouflage
Your abilities, skills and characteristics
Camouflage provides a self-explanatory symbol, you are either hiding behind it, using it as a form of protection or something is being hidden from you.

Candy

The joys in life
The simple things in life can bring the greatest pleasures.
Finding candy could represent when you unexpectedly receive something nice.
A sweet person!

Canal
(Loch/Water)
Emotions and journeys
Journey dream, whereby canals are restrictive and convey the meaning of wanting to reach open water so you can create your own journey rather than being dictated to.
The emotional journey, note any obstacles on the canal or your method of transport to help with your translation and gain a better understanding of the emotional journey that you are currently on.
Certain restrictions apply!

Cancer
(Illness)
Fears about dying
A fear dream when people generally panic, but cancer could symbolise anything that is draining you of vital energy. It is rarely used in dreams as there are many other ways to show these types of situations and it could be easily misunderstood. Some people have a real fear of cancer and this might penetrate their dreams, in this case, it would be about getting over and dealing with these fears.
On the other hand, it can be used when there is a real risk of your life being affected by a particularly difficult battle. As a rule, cancer will symbolise any negative force that can take control of your life. You need to fight and use your inner strength to win the battle that cancer represents. If you dream of someone else with cancer the translation might apply to them, maybe they need your help to win a personal battle.

Cane
(Whip)
Your support
In journey dreams, a walking stick simply supplies the help and support you need to journey on-wards when your strength is low. To be whipped with a cane in a dream symbolises being tortured or cut up by events that unfold around you.
A cane can symbolise someone to lean on.
Available support!

Candle
(Wax)
Time and change
A lit candle can symbolise the light within your soul or the light that shines within someone else. A candle is also used in dream language as a symbol of time because a candle burns down and disappears in the same way that time and opportunities can diminish. Therefore, a candle that has burned down in your dream could be warning you that time is running out for you to take action.
If the flame is distinguished on a candle it means you feel like you have lost your sparkle and direction or that the light has gone out of a relationship, it can, of course, be re-ignited with effort, unless the wax is all gone in your dream.
Lighting a candle can also be used as a symbol of remembrance and love, for someone that we cannot be with, but equally, as an idea or notion that we have. Wax itself symbolises being able to model and create your own outcomes.
Spiritual enlightenment!
Moulding thoughts into actions before the time runs out!.

Cannibals
(Zombies)
Personalties and characteristics
These flesh-eaters will symbolise people or personal situations that drain you of vital resources and energy, they wish to consume the real you.

Canoe
(Boats/Journey/Raft/Transport)
The emotional journey
Battling those emotions and learning to ride the waves of life, like an emotional roller-coaster. A rough ride in a canoe could be mimicking a turbulent affair emotionally, or simply a rough ride to endure in the next part of your journey. Remember that a boat offers you the ability to stay afloat in emotional waters but use your own steam to get where you want to be emotionally because other people shouldn't be responsible for your emotional responses.

Canopy
(Cover)
Structure and protection dream
A canopy offers you protection from the elements, usually extreme environments that you find yourself in. This often symbolises the strength of your own demeanour or your ability to withstand emotional out-pours from other people.

Cape
Character dream
(People)
Needing to play the superhero for the other people around you? Wanting and needing a superhero to rescue you?

Capsizing
(Boats/Raft/Water)
The emotional journey
Everything is being turned upside down and situations need your power and strength to make things right again. Emotional upheaval with someone rocking the boat, but do take note if you are alone in the boat or what is causing the boat or raft to capsize if it is an onslaught of water it will symbolise emotions causing the upheaval. If you crash into rocks or something else they will symbolise the obstacles in your life that cause you to lose control.

Car
(Destination/Journey/Road/Transport)
(Tunnel Dreams)
(Machinery)
Journey dream
A car can be used to represent the resources you have at hand to move along the road that is life. It can also be used as a substitution for our physical body in dream language and translate messages about your internal drives and motivations. The condition of the car should be noted as if there is something wrong with it then this can highlight the way the physical body is ticking over, sometimes we need an MOT in the same way that our cars do.
Petrol can symbolise our available energy, drive, and motivation. The brakes of a vehicle represent our stopping ability; being able to stop something if it isn't good for us etc. The engine is symbolic for our mind and its motivation, energy and drive; if it isn't working properly we are tired and worn out mentally. The exhaust literally symbolises exhaustion and the need to release the pent up negative energy that clogs up the system.
A car is an object that expresses the freedom to get along or to get where you want to be, therefore for a car to be damaged or not working will typically symbolise a loss of freedom or ability to make progress on a chosen route. Obstacles in the road are symbols of external things that hinder your progress. If the car is overheating it will symbolise your emotions getting the better of you and your frustration at not being able to get where you want to go.

If you are trying to drive a car from the back seat then you are literally trying to take control of a situation that is not in your reach, or you don't have the control you would like and you might need to take a back seat on this one.

Caravan
(Destination/Journey/Transport)
(Visiting other countries)
Journey dream
A caravan in your dream represents being able to go with the flow, this is probably referring to your home life. We don’t always know where our chosen road is taking us, and we have no choice but to carry on the way we are being pulled. A caravan being a temporary structure reminds us that our current situation is temporary and should change eventually. A caravan can also show us that we need to take a break from the current situation. Although these translations differ slightly when you think about it, it shows how your current situation is getting you down and you need a rest from it.
The wanderer and not wanting to settle down.

Cards
Birthday Cards
Milestones
In dreams these link with remembering your milestones and your achievements. Spirit has been known to send birthday cards through your dreams. If you dream of a birthday card and it isn’t your birthday perhaps your dream is prompting you to remember someone else’s birthday or remember how old you are, it might be reminding you to recognise that you are only young once.
Playing Cards
Games and strategies

There are a few different translations of playing cards and the symbolism could depend on the type of game you are playing. If you are playing a card game like patience I would suggest that you must learn patience as an attribute, you might have to play the waiting game.
The different suits of cards can have their own translations, the red suits being positive and the black suits being more negative. These things are well balanced in a deck of cards. In dreams, the deck of cards could be giving you a message about the hand you're being dealt in your life at the present time and also about how you play that hand forward.
Balance is needed in all things.

Hearts relate to your emotional self, your love life perhaps.
Diamonds symbolise positivity and quality. A good person.
Spades represent the negative aspects that you have buried in the past.
Clubs will symbolise the outside world and the effect it has upon you.
Jokers symbolise someone who plays no real part in your life now, or simply a joker.

Carousel's

(Machinery)
Journey dream and repeated behaviours

Just go along for the ride.

Catch
(Ball)
Skills and attributes
Playing catch can sometimes express the idea that you need to catch up with other people, or get yourself up to speed with their expectations of you. You want to balance the responsibilities you have but are occasionally thrown a hardball. Catching a ball successfully is a symbol of accomplishment and achieving success.
To catch a fish will literally show that you managed to land yourself a worthy partner unless there's something odd about the fish you catch.

Cats
(Animals)
Personalities and characteristics
Cats usually link with the feminine and industrious side of a person’s nature. To see a black cat is very lucky and not unlucky like some people think.
Being independent.
Use your psychic abilities.
A woman who only shares affection when she wants to.

Cave
(Structures)
How feelings create the way your life is structured
You are trying to protect yourself from the outside world and do not wish to acknowledge exactly what is going on around you. Perhaps the caveman mindset is what is being highlighted to you, outdated views or ways of doing things and you need to remedy this before you can break down the barriers that stand in your way.
Rocks and boulders often represent stubborn barriers which you help to create.
Withdrawn?
Out-dated values and thoughts.
The caveman mentality?

Cement
(Bricks)
Structure dream
This often links with bricks in dreams: Cement symbolises the material that helps secure the bonds needed for security. This type of dream is bringing your attention to the strength of the bonds that you have. The cement can also represent how you are stuck in the past and this will also link with how your life is structured now. To be stuck in hard cement represents how you feel confined or restricted by circumstance, the need to chip away at a situation to gain freedom from it.

Celebrities
Personalities and characters
(Actor/Actress)
(Dreams About Celebrities)

Cellar
(Basement/Dungeon)
Structure dream
How your life is structured creates your current set up.
A cellar will be where secrets are held and where you store the things that you do not wish to deal with yet. This dream might be nudging you that now is the time to bring out hidden aspects of yourself.

Cemetery
(Grave/Death)
(Leopard in the cemetery Dream)
Fear dream
If you are in a cemetery that you know and visit in your waking life it can denote the refusal or inability to move on from something or someone that you love. Death in dreams becomes more apparent when a section of life is coming to an end. Something new will inevitably begin, but only if you accept the past and allow yourself to move forward.
Sometimes we visit a graveyard because we wish to converse with people who have passed away and visiting a graveyard is also done to evaluate our feelings about death and our own ability to move forward when something has ended.
To be frightened in a cemetery/graveyard is about your fears of loss and of letting go, don't think this is about the death of someone because it's usually about being frightened of letting go of things and moving on, childhood to adolescence or accepting adult responsibilities, anything that you find difficult to let go of.

Chain
Events, strengths and weaknesses
Chains and links can represent our own family and the links that we have with them, we can feel bound to them at times. Sometimes we need to break a chain of events or feel like we are chained up to duty.

A broken chain will describe a break in the links that you have made, either to people or events, as in a break from the past, or from situations that cause restrictions to your freedom.
We are all interlinked!

Chainsaw
(Tools)
(Machinery)
Your tools and abilities

Cutting trees with a chainsaw means that you are bringing an end to growth. Cutting wood into smaller pieces can symbolise the act of cutting things into smaller chunks so that you can deal with them. A chainsaw is needed when things/people are hard to break away from.

Chase
(A dream about being chased)
Journey dream
Being chased in a dream is a way for you to understand that situations are catching up with you, or perhaps you are trying to escape from something, destiny catches up with you as do responsibilities.

Romantically you might be trying to catch a partner.
Are you chasing your dreams?

Chasing shadows?
The thrill of the chase!

Checkout
(Shops/Supermarket)
Fulfilment dream
If you dream you are at a checkout of any kind, it can mean that you are trying to ‘check out’ of a situation and check into a new one. You wish that this phase of life would hurry up and pass so that you can begin a new phase that is more to your satisfaction.
Paying money at a checkout for goods that you have helps you understand if you have the means available to start a new phase of life, not having the money to pay shows that you don't, as yet. If the goods come without having to pay for them, it explains how you can move easily into the next phase without much effort on your part. If you pay for the goods, then you will have to pay in some way to get the results that you want.
Paying in dreams can symbolise trying to keep the karmic or spiritual levy balanced, (we impose karma on ourselves by our thoughts) or it helps us understand that we can only get out what we can put in, consider what you were buying in your dream to help with the translation.

Cheese
(Food)
Fulfilment and happiness
Cheese can symbolise a lesson to learn that is tough but needed. Maturing growth and progress is being made even if it certainly doesn't feel like it right now.
Food for the soul?
Hard cheese is a symbol of tough luck or tough love!

Emptiness or fulfilment
A chest will hold within it your dreams, wishes, and secrets from the past, it may be time to open the chest and establish if those dreams came true or are still valid today and if those secrets have held you back.

Pick at the bones of a problem?

China
Fragility of preciousness
China cups and plates symbolise how fragile the precious things in your life are, care must be taken to ensure longevity. Any cracks in the china can represent the cracks in a relationship.

Christmas

Blessings are sent your way from any Christmas dream

Time and celebration, forgiveness and acceptance

Generally, if you dream it is Christmas then you are being shown that you have much to be grateful for. Gifts that you receive in a dream do not necessarily translate as gifts that you get in the material sense but gifts or talents that you have. You have attributes that are worth much more than money and you should give these freely to others.
Value what you have!

Growth, beginnings and endings
Dreaming about a Christmas tree has a similar meaning to dreaming about Christmas and links to your spiritual growth and celebrating all the personal treasures you have. In dreams Christmas trees are used to highlight the fact that you have come full circle, the new year would suggest starting afresh. A Christmas tree has also been used to symbolise how people recognise their own true worth, it is ordained and decorated with all the different attributes we have, and these personal qualities are what make us unique.
Evergreens can highlight the longevity of relationships or projects. They are fast growers and can represent something that grows very fast.
Continued growth and strength!
Christmas pudding
Lucky and fruitful for the dreamer, a wish coming true.
Maturity!
Christmas Decorations
Decorations symbolise the effort we put into creating an aura or atmosphere around us for other people to appreciate, this also links with our spirituality because it is what we create for others that helps towards our spiritual growth and development. The decorations can also be used for a symbol of what we have achieved in the past, if the decorations are old or worn then it is time for a fresh approach, changes need to be made to the way you apply yourself.
Baubles can symbolise the whole picture or the soul in its completion. Smashed baubles could help to translate the feeling of being shattered.
Tinsel can symbolise a time of commemoration for all your hard work, its an appreciation of your effort.

The seasons help to remind us that emotional situations change, and for personal balance, we must experience all of them.

The sleigh will symbolise the physical help being offered to you to carry the baggage which has become a burden. The gift they bring is help for your own spiritual progression and a way forward in life.

Chop/Chopping
(Axe)
Your tools and skills and how you utilise them
Look up what it is you are chopping to help you with your translation, but if you are chopping something into smaller pieces then you are literally trying to cut something down to a manageable size. Think about what is getting out of hand or too big to handle, you might have to take your time to get through certain issues. Wood that has been cut is often used to represent dead wood, in other words, something isn't going to grow anymore or produce fruit/flower, this might be true of a relationship or job.
Chopping wood for a fire is done to keep your family warm, therefore the symbol can be taken from being the carer or provider for the family, this takes its toll on you and requires a lot of your energy. Your ability to chop wood in the dream will provide a picture of how you are coping with responsibility. Chopping food will also link with what you do to care for your family and how much of yourself you have to give to them, maybe they are grown and still expect you to be at their beck and call. You might feel that you have to chop yourself into tiny pieces and give each of them a piece of you.
Getting the chop?

Cleaning
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)
Regeneration and recreation
The best translation will come from what it is you are cleaning in your dream but basically, you are attempting to clean away negativity, you wish to get rid of anything that can cause you a problem or taint your positive attitude.
Other translations might be that you need to clean and polish your skills, or clean up your act and stop doing things that mess up or hinder your own plans.
If you are cleaning your home, then you are attempting to create order or keep things running smoothly.
To ‘clean up’ can sometimes mean that you are financially for your hard work, but to be taken to the cleaners means that you are at a financial loss.

Cliff
(Balcony)
Living on the edge
Being on a cliff edge obviously highlights your fears about being tipped over the edge, what is sending you 'over the edge' is for you to consider. A cliff is a typical symbol which is used to show you that you have reached the end of the road, you need to do a turnaround because there is no way forward in the direction you are taking. Because cliffs are made from rocks it can symbolise being stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The precipice of life requires a change of direction.

Climbing
(Journey/Ladder/Destination)
Journey dream
If you are climbing in a dream it explains how you are attempting to move up at work or maybe climbing the property ladder. If in the dream you are trying to climb over obstacles it can explain how you need to clear certain obstacles out of the way before real progress can be made. Often in dreams, we do not know the outcome, like if we reach the top or manage to get over our obstacles, this is because the outcome is not set in stone, you must decide how it ends. Trying to connect with the spirit world is also shown by climbing upwards.
Going up in the world?

Clinging
Your ability to keep going
Trying to cling on to something literally means that you are trying to hold on to someone or something that you feel you cannot do without.
Clinging onto the past.
Let bygones be bygones?
Barley coping?

Clock
(Alarm Clock/Time/Watch)
(Machinery)
Time and movement
When we see a clock in our dreams we must remember that time changes everything and will move forward even if we are not ready.
If a clock stops it is warning you that something is coming to an end, it has run out of time. If the hands are going backwards, you would like to turn the clock back and change the things that have happened. This can explain how you tend to look backwards and not forwards, maybe there is someone or something in your past that you have not let go of.
It is time!
Movement and change!

Clothes

(Common Dreams: Nakedness)

(The Tatty Dress Dream)
(Clothes and a job interview)
(Colours Below)

How you feel about yourself and the facade you present to other people

In dream language, clothes are used to express the character that we create for other people. We can change our character daily and be the person expected of us, we can dress ourselves up, dress down, become any character to fulfil everyone's needs. The real you is underneath wondering who you really are?
Nakedness
If you are naked or semi-naked in a dream this will link with how the real you are on show, vulnerabilities and all.
Nakedness in dreams is fairly common, and to translate its personal meaning consider where you were naked because then you have an idea to what part of your life the dream is referring, where exactly you feel vulnerable or lacking confidence. Its common in dreams to be naked at work and therefore you can link your vulnerabilities with your workplace. Being partly naked in a dream simply means that you feel confident in some areas but not in others.
Old clothes
If your clothes are old or tatty in a dream then your ideas and attitudes have become outdated, sometimes poverty can present this way but usually, this will link with the fact that something has become un-cared for, it might be yourself you have neglected. Wearing worn or torn clothes also link with how trials and tribulations can wear you down and tear you up, old clothes symbolise the feeling of being worn out and tired of the character you have to play.
New clothes
New clothes symbolise a new approach and reinventing your character, new clothes can also symbolise a new set of circumstances. Wearing nice clothes can show improvements in your finances and if you smarten your appearance in your dream it is explaining how you should create a new approach to old problems
Beautiful clothes
Wearing beautiful clothes in a dream can reflect the attention and care that is put into one’s own spiritual progression.

Consider if the clothes you are wearing in a dream could be referring to your physical body or your spiritual one, as well as representing how you feel you are viewed by other people. The real you is the soul beneath the character that you present to the world, the spiritual ‘you’ cannot be worn out.
When you translate dreams about clothes always consider the colours as well as the condition of them, are they fit for purpose? if not, then the message is about your ability to fit in and feel comfortable with your friends, peers, work colleges or family.
Coat
A coat offers protection and warmth from the elements, it offers protection from other people's coldness and from circumstances that bring about loneliness. Cold in dreams usually symbolises a time of inactivity or a phase in life that is lacking in affection, so to be warmed by a coat could help you to see that you are held in warm affection by someone around you. If you are not happy with the coat, then maybe you do not feel satisfied with the affection you get, or unsure if a person offering warmth is right for you. Basically, a coat is sometimes used to show how you are feeling about the protection and warmth you get from the people around you. Spiritually it could be used to represent the protection you receive from your guides.
In spiritual movements, the physical body is referred to as an overcoat, and when we pass into the spirit world we are said to shed the overcoat (the physical body) and swap it for a spiritual one that vibrates at a different energy level, therefore the coat could be used for a symbol of a spiritual awakening.
Dress
(The Tatty Dress Dream)
The condition and style of the dress will help to get the message across if you are wearing an unusual dress it could mean that you are being shown various aspects of your own personality that you don't make use of. Wearing a dress that is shabby or worn out can be easily translated as it portrays how you feel physically worn out and undervalued, you just can’t dress it up anymore.
Dress to impress!
Gloves
Think about the type of gloves you dream about and what they are used for, gloves are used for protection from heat, cold and dirt etc, work gloves will link with your work, rubber cloves will link with cleaning, or cleaning up the mess people make of their lives, oven gloves protect you from heat, and woolly gloves are designed to keep you warm. If you are wearing gloves to keep you clean then the symbolism will come from not wanting to get your hands dirty, in other words, you don't want to work hard on something or perhaps do the dirty work for someone else. Oven gloves might be warning you not to get your fingers burned which is what happens if you play with fire. Woolly gloves can be used to tell you to warm-up your talents and skills as they may be needed, or warm hands, warm heart, is someone going to thaw that icy interior?
Hat
Hats can protect the mind from negativity and help you to understand your own thoughts and feelings better by blocking negativity from other people, this will stop you from being influenced by their opinions. Respect your own resourcefulness and have faith in your abilities to work things out for yourself. A hat can also cover or hide our thoughts from other people. The type of hat you wear in a dream might give further explanations.
Cap
Don’t cap your own potential!
Party Hat
A party hat refers to enjoying the present and ignoring people who wish to spoil your fun.
Stop negative thoughts and just have fun.
Party time?
Woolly Hat
A wool hat helps to provide warmth and protection from negative influences or thoughts. Maybe you feel woolly-headed and are not thinking clearly. Warm-up that brain of yours because it might be needed?
Nightclothes
Wanting or needing rest and comfort. You might need to try and get out of the slump you are in.
Shirt and Tie
A shirt and tie can symbolise that you need to make more of an effort and put yourself over in a professional way; it can also show you that you need to be smart or clever, roll up those sleeves and get on with it, smarten up your act for success.
Formal occasions?
Shoes
(All about Shoes)(Walking)
(See Socks below)
The journey dream
Shoes often help to portray the way you are getting along on your current chosen path. If the shoes you are wearing in a dream are inappropriate for the activity you are doing, it can explain how you do not have the correct ideas or attributes to succeed in a venture, and must change some aspects of yourself to continue making progress. It could be your attitude that needs adjusting.
In dream language wearing unusual shoes describes walking in a new role or treading a new path that you haven't experienced before, the dream is trying to describe how you will feel doing this. If the shoes are too tight then the road you are walking is not particularly comfortable for you, this can relate to home, work, money or relationships or to your current spiritual journey. Shoes that are not a good fit can also represent a couple that doesn’t fit together well, making for an uncomfortable journey together.

Shoes are mostly used as a symbol in dreams to make you think about how grounded you are as a person and how you can adapt to any situation. The type of shoes you are wearing and their comfort will give you clues to your ability to move forward regardless of the situations that you find yourself in.
Holes in the shoes can mean poverty, or previous poverty has left a lasting mark on you, you don't want to walk that road again. Holes can also represent the hole that was left in your life when you walked a certain path or walked away from something or someone, just don't revisit that path again, it will wear you down.
If the heel comes off your shoe consider the saying 'to be well-heeled' which means to have plenty of money and security, so if your heal comes off in your dream it represents the instability you are feeling with your current situation, but if you are prepared and take precautions now, you can prevent that situation.
To get your heel caught in something will mean you are at risk of getting caught up in something that will mean you lose stability.
If your shoes are falling apart the meaning will come from how everything seems to be falling apart and you can't go on in that situation.
To kick off your shoes is a way of admitting that you need to get off the journey you are on and take time out, you can't walk another step without a break. Kick back and have fun!
The sole of the shoe can occasionally be used to portray the 'soul' and how you are spiritual, grounded and earthly all at the same time. If the sole comes off your shoe then the dream is telling you that to make progress you must reconnect with your spiritual self.
Wearing someone else's shoes in a dream simply reminds you to walk a mile in their shoes before making judgments, it can literally be making you consider other people and their chosen road in life, in comparison to your own, they may also have attributes that you need to try and adopt.
Trainers or sports shoes relate to training that you need to do, this can link with the spiritual journey and developing that side of you or to help you with your career choices. If you are comfortable in the trainers then you are comfortable with who you are and where you are going.
Trousers
For a woman, it can show that you need to 'wear the trousers' and be a bit more forceful to get the things you want. For a man it can show the type of personality you need to adopt, i.e. cargo trousers would translate how you need to soldier on with demanding work. Smart trousers show that you need to smarten up your act and act more responsibly or maybe you need to be more informative and 'upfront' with people.
Socks
Very similar translation to shoes but if the socks are unravelling or something like this, then take the symbolism to mean that a situation or drama is unravelling around you. Socks will also link with the warmth scenario and might be used to explain your home comforts or perhaps someone to keep you warm at night. Any holes in the socks or shoes could symbolise the holes left from walking this road before, it was a rough road and it wore you down!

Clots
(Body)
Health, obstacles and breaking down barriers
You must decide what is clogged in your life, perhaps information is not getting through, it could be a message or idea that isn’t getting through to someone, but it could also be a physical manifestation and your body or mind is not getting all that it needs to function happily.
Blood clots give the image of hurt that hasn't healed and it will cause further problems if it is dealt with.

Clouds
(Weather)
Emotions and thoughts
Storm clouds warn of rain and rain symbolise tears falling, whereas a few wispy clouds can symbolise passing thoughts and ideas.
A clouded judgement!

Clover
Lucky you!

Coat Hanger
(Clothes above)
Your hang-ups
A coat hanger can symbolise how you are attempting to keep up appearances, this isn’t always possible to maintain. Just hang your coat upon the people who judge you.
Get over your hang-ups!

Cold
(Weather)
(Fridge/Freezer)
Your environment
A lack of warmth in your life will translate as cold in your dream. You must decide who is being cold? Winter is also a time of inactivity so consider what or who is inactive or not showing the love. The good thing about the seasons is that they change and move into another phase or cycle so the coldness and the loneliness that winter brings will pass into spring eventually.
Cold can also be used as a symbol to express fear, this may link with your own fears, you might want to consider if other dream symbols are trying to encourage you to think about your fears and how they can change over time. Remember that as you overcome your old fears there might be new challenges to conquer, as we go through life our fears will change and this helps us to develop our coping strategies and develop new ways of overcoming obstacles.

Colour
(See Aura/Energy)
(Dream about Colour)
Energy and vibrations
The use of colour in your dreams is important and can give you added information for your translation. You should use it to help you work out the meaning along with the other symbols that you remember. Colours are universally recognised as having meaning attached to them, for example, 'green with envy' or 'feeling blue' but spiritually the meanings are subtler and for dream analysis, it is probably better to refer to and use the interpretations healers use.
Show your true colours!
Black
Black can be a negative colour and symbolise overwhelming negativity, but it is also a spiritual colour that offers within it a mix of all colours. It can, therefore, represent the ‘whole’ or completeness and progression from experience.
Blue

Healing, sensitivity, peace and understanding.
A spiritual colour.
Brown
The earth, growth, and nourishment.
Hard work.
A reward for effort.
Nurture.
Down to earth!
Green
Mother Nature.
Cultivation, potential, and growth.
Healing and understanding.

Envy
Grey
Dull, confusion.
Feeling here nor there.
Moving from one phase into another.
A grey area!
Magenta and Purple
Psychic and knowing.

Orange
A productive colour which helps you to be creative, often artists, writers, sculptors, dancers, and singers are surrounded by their orange aura.
Artistic and creative.
Happiness and contentment.
Productive.
Pink
A happy loving colour.
Good health and prosperity.
In the pink?
Tickled Pink?
Red
This colour has more to do with the strength and depth of emotions.
Passion, love.
Intense deep-felt emotions.
Anger.
Jealousy.
White
Potential.
Purity.
Spiritual.
Yellow
Emotional.
Sunny.
Creative.
Uplifting.

Youth

Comb
(Brush/Tangle)
Your skills and attributes
A situation needs untangling or straightening out mentally.

Compass
Journey dream
You need direction!

Computer
(Books/Cables/Computer/
Email/Internet/Library)
(Machinery)
Knowledge, learning and communication
A computer nowadays often replaces a library in dream translation; it stores and shares information in the same way that books have always done. The earth itself is considered a planetary library.

In dreams, the computer and library symbols are used to help us understand that we are interlinked and spiritually connected to each other, our experiences are stored and the accumulated knowledge can be shared with each other. Therefore a computer can help you understand that any problem has already been experienced and remedied so there is always help out there for you when you need it.
Dreaming of the Internet also sends you a strong message that there is not one experience that hasn’t been experienced already. If you are having trouble dealing with your own set of circumstances and you don’t know how to move forward or solve an issue, there is a huge collection of experiences that are very similar or the same as your own, a computer or library is the ideal place to search for answers or assistance. A database can symbolise the store of knowledge that you can tap into, you are looking for answers and guidance.
If there is a problem with the computer in your dream then there is an issue with you understanding the knowledge that you have been given, there is a processing error.
Interlinked.
Processing information!
You need to understand the information that you have.
Ask for help from people in the know.

Cooker
(Energy)
(Oven/Machines)

Cooking
(Eating/Food/Kitchen)
(Machines)

(A dream about cooking for my grandma)
Fulfilment and happiness
What you cook-up in a dream symbolises the nourishment that you give to others, if it is nice food then you do your best to create a satisfying home life for them. If you cook and it is ruined, it seems that no matter what you do other people are still not happy, therefore it is time that they find their own fulfilment or contribute more to help make improvements where they are needed.
Food is used to describe any situation that you are dished up, and how you might react to it. Under-cooked food means that you are not ready for certain experiences and overcooked food means something is past its best. (It has had its day) To overcook the pudding is to put way too much effort into something that was better off as it previously was.
Spiritual nourishment.
Remember that real happiness comes from within.
Who is cooking up a storm?

Conker
(Tree)
Growth and potential
Conkers are lucky and they are like being handed a wealth of opportunity and possibilities for growth, you must realise though that you are required to make things happen, And also remember that for something to grow strong it takes time and patience. There is also an element of protection from the conker symbol so whatever you develop now could be successful in the long run, but remember to protect and care for your creations.

Cosmetics
How you view yourself v how you think other people see you
Covering our own imperfections or trying to make an effort with yourself. Just like clothes, cosmetics help us to hide our true self or put on a front for others to see.
Paint a smile on where there isn't one.
A problem is only cosmetic, it is easily wiped away.
Makeup with yourself. (Forgive yourself)

Cost
(Money)
Weighing up the cost
When the cost of something is a feature in your dream the symbolism can come from thinking about how much something is worth to you. You can sometimes get the things you want but at what cost?

Counterfeit
(Fake)
Characters and characteristics
If you dream of fake money it shows that you or someone else are not getting the real deal. Something is worthless, or it has no real substantial value to you.
Someone is fake!

Countries
(Visiting other countries)
The journey dream/travel and adventures
Countries are used in dreams to describe new experiences or places in your life that you haven’t visited before; the idea is that a country can represent a situation or environment that is new or alien to you. You haven’t been in this situation before. If you dream of countries that you have visited previously consider if there are any other clues that you can get from the place to help you understand the dreams meaning. For example is it hot, cold, faraway etc. The place may simply hold happy memories which will be recreated for you now.

Cracks
(Wallpaper and Walls)
The structures you have in place
Something needs repair; it could be relationships that need patching up, or you may feel that cracks are developing in the security or the set up of your life. What exactly is cracked in your dream will help with the translation.
Cracking up mentally?

Crash
(Accident)
Journey dream
A crash represents an occurrence that is waiting to happen; there is no way to avoid the outcome of a certain situation.
A collision of different personalities.
A crash course in learning.

Cross
(Jesus)
A crossroad in your life.

Sacrifice.
Support is given during testing times or demanding situations.
Spiritual help, protection, and awareness.
Healing.

Crossroad
(Destination/Journey/Road)
The journey dream
Different roads are available to you right now and deciding which one is best creates stress, therefore remember it doesn't matter which one you choose as all have equal opportunities. The dream scenario might show you the correct road to take and the ones to avoid, but ultimately the dream is reminding you that the roads we choose to follow are what create the experience. Roads are all about the journey and not the destination.

Your available choices?

At a crossroad?

Crowds
Feelings and your environment
Feeling overcrowded and needing some space.
Too many people in a relationship, space is needed.

Crutch
Healing and support
Someone reliable to lean on to help you along when you need support, this could be monetary support but any kind of aid or help that is available to you will be shown this way, all you need to do is enlist that help.

Crying
(Tears/Weep)
Emotions
To see someone else crying in a dream will be to do with them letting out their emotions in front of you, they might not do this in real life, they are experiencing sadness and might need someone to support them. If you are crying it might mean that you experience a loss, although the tears shed might be for something you have lost in the past. This type of symbol is self-explanatory and is not usually symbolic for anything other than sadness.

Crystal
(Diamond/Quartz)
Situations become crystal clear.
Clarity of mind and purity of the soul.
The longevity of relationships.

Crystal Healing?
Direct your power in the right place for success.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Dam
(See Water)
Emotions
A dam can represent pent-up emotions that have been held back for a long time, therefore a dam breaking is literally a release of an emotional build-up. Who's at breaking point? Dams are built to prevent floods and because water almost always represents emotions in dream language we can suppose that a dam breaking is a release of pent up anger, fear, worry, or any emotion that is being held back. Dams also have reservoirs or reserves of water and create a balance between the water than can be released and is useful and water that needs to be stored or held back, so think about what is creating an emotional imbalance and what feelings can safely be released.

Feeling Dammed?

Dancing
(Acrobat/Ballroom/Ballerina/Gymnast)
Creativity
Dancing can be a way of expressing your happiness and creativity and in dream language, it can sometimes be used as a symbol for getting closer to someone special. Dance is also used to express freedom and going with the flow, the dance you create links with how you express yourself on a deeper level, and it recreates how you connect with the people around you. A good translation of dancing depends on the type of dance you do in your dream, if you are dancing with lots of other people then the dream is showing you how you get on with and work with the people you associate with, (how in sync you are with each other). Whereas dancing with a partner is more of a private affair and mimics a closer or a sexual relationship. You might also be showcasing your creativeness and talents, putting your work out there for others to see. How well you perform the dance in the dream is merely your own opinion being expressed about yourself or how you think other people judge your performance.

The type of dance will give further information for you to consider in your translation.

A dance troupe probably represents a group of people and how well they 'perform' together, whereas tribal dances link with your earthly family, or your spiritual group.
Ballroom dancing, ballet, tap dancing. Think about the attributes and the dedication that any dancer needs to execute the perfect dance. This type of dream symbol could help you understand that to perfect your personal trade you must work hard and dedicate a lot of time and effort. The way you perform your dream dance can help you accept where you are on the journey from amateur to professional, do you need to put in lots more work?
Dancing or performing in a synchronised way with other people describes how you need to get in tune with them so that you can make relationships work or bring them into order. If relationships have been problematic at home or at work you could try to find things that you have in common to help you bond, then things might run smoother between you.
When a dreamer has a detailed understanding of dance and the many different styles of dance there are perhaps because dance is part of their work, then it would be more likely that they would dream of specific dances and would, therefore, understand the symbolism that is connected with a dance type, generally, dream language uses the dreamers own understanding which can relay a message best suited for that person.

Danger
(Obstacles/Obstacle Dreams)
(Warning Dreams)

Fear Dream
Any kind of danger that you are presented within a dream will usually warn you about the risky situations that unfold around you, the idea is that you are forewarned so you can make decisive and informed choices which will ensure protection for yourself or others around you. These dreams are mostly about working out what is risky and then making sensible informed choices. If danger is the overall theme of a dream its likely to be what is called a warning dream to help you change direction or inform you to help someone else.

Darkness
(Day and Night below)
(Dream about the Dark)
Depression
The dark forces within.
Spiritual ignorance.
Being kept in the dark.
The unknown.
Lack of growth and progress.

Darn
(Lace/Sew/Wool/Yarn)
Making repairs
Darning provides a simple translation of trying to patch something up or repair it, maybe a relationship or friendship but you could also be trying to repair mistakes that were made over time. A split in clothing or something else might represent a split or divide between people, perhaps you are trying to repair this and bring people back together.

Dart
(Aim /Target)
Your aims
In dream language, any kind of arrow or dart helps to describe the point that you are trying to make or the target that you are trying to reach. If or not the dart reaches its target will be important because this gives you clues to if you can fulfil your objectives. Being shot with a dart might be a representation of being shocked and of something just coming out of nowhere. If the abuse is aimed at you or not should be considered.

Dawn
Changes
The dawning of a new time in your life, the sun coming up expresses happiness and growth for the dreamer.
The dawn of a new era.
New Beginnings.

Day and Night
(Darkness/Dusk /Light)
Balance and harmony
If you are aware of day and night in your dreams then you are being reminded of how one phase of your life moves gently into another one, darkness eventually turns into light. A balance between positive and negative or perhaps opposites attract.

Dead/Death
(Burial/Dead People below)
(People/Mortuary)
(Death Dreams)
Fear dream and change
Most people are frightened by death dreams, they fear it foretells the death of someone they love, but dreaming of death usually refers to the death of something rather than someone and we need a mini death to occur so that we can start again, so if you view a death dream as a new beginning it will not seem quite so forbidding, other symbols in the dream might give an indication as to what death is referring to. When we have finished with a certain part of our life it can penetrate our dreams as a death.

Dreaming about death or being dead is sometimes a spiritual reminder that death is a part of life, when we dream we are dead and then realise that we are still in existence in a dream it is our subconscious trying to remind us that the soul cannot die, it is infinite and your ideas of death are all wrong. When you meet people in your dreams who are dead/in the spirit world its not uncommon for the dreamer to say "oh your not dead" or "oh I thought you were dead". This is just a way for you to understand that nothing dies, it just moves to another form of existing.
Lost opportunities!

Dead People
(Death above/Mortuary /Zombies)
Change and acceptance
When you dream about people from the spirit world it is usually because they want to give you a message of some kind, they often show up in a dream to let you know that they are at peace and to bring you comfort in your own distress and to try to convince you nothing really dies.

Deaf

Ignorance

This symbol will probably mean you're not listening to what someone is telling you, alternatively, you might need to 'cock a deafen' and ignore someone who is winding you up.

Deep

Very deep water could explain the depth of someone's feelings, or be a symbol for when you are getting in too deep.

You will feel out of your depth with something or someone.

Decapitated
(Dismembered below)
Healing the mind
This will be a play on words rather than a literal translation, it could describe someone losing their head or being disconnected from real life.
Mental disassociation!

Decorating

(Buildings /Paint/Wallpaper)

(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)

(Messy House Dream)

(Colours)

Making changes

There is a lot of symbolism that can be gained from redecorating a room although they are very similar to cleaning a room, which in dream language explains the need for you to get rid of negativity and freshening-up your ideas and attitudes, this will help to help create order and structure within your life. You would like to renew and refresh either your surroundings or your personal life, perhaps you wish to replace the old with the new and the effort of decorating is a way to explain the effort you must put into making things happen. Changes for the better need to be worked on, you can't just sit and watch things deteriorate and expect to be happy.

To be stripping walls is a way for you to understand the need to get to the bare brunt of a problem or to acknowledge that there is a problem to be dealt with. If you are hanging new wall coverings then you are attempting to cover or hide problems away, this is more appropriate when you are aware that the wall you are covering needs repair, but if the wall is smooth and faultless then you are merely improving on what you already have, breathing new life into your homelife perhaps, this will often be appropriate for a relationship that becomes dull and boring and which needs reinventing or dare I say replacing? The outcome of the wallpapering in your dream might give you a clue to if you were better off with what you had already.
Painting is another way to describe these same scenarios although the outcome is more permanent, you are attempting to disguise, repair and rejuvenate the old relationship to make it into something that you can live with once again. Always look up colours if you notice them.
Make do and mend?
Decorating the truth?

Defibrillator

What are you trying to bring back to life? A relationship, friendship, or your love for something else like a job or career. Is it time to move on?

Deformity - Disfigurement
Healing
This symbol portrays a distorted way of thinking, but it can also represent suffering that is caused by another person's behaviour, you may, of course, be the cause of your own suffering. Being disfigured in a dream is a way of showing you damage that cannot easily be reversed.

Demolished
(Bulldozer)
Changes to the way your life is structured
To see something demolished or knocked down in a dream is a way for you to consider the destruction that can be caused by decisions that were made consciously. The current set up you have could be completely knocked down and you will have to start again. Obviously, if it's someone else's structure that you see demolished then the symbolism could be about their set up, or how their life is structured.

Demons

Fear Dream

These will be a construct of your own fears, you need to fight your own fears so you can be progressive and move forward.

Dentist

(See Teeth)

(Losing teeth and spitting out plastic)

Dreaming about going to the dentist probably has more to do with the fear of loss than it does with the fear of the dentist. losing teeth in a dream describes the loss of something else, usually, this happens when its time to let something go that has no use for you anymore, something that causes you pain and pressure. The dentist might symbolise someone who can help you through this transition.

Desert
(Drought below/Dry below/Sand)
Emotions
The desert would suggest the feeling of being deserted and left alone to cope. The lack of water brings your attention to the drying up of emotions when they have been exhausted. Stones and rocks are an example of the obstacles that you must get over to change your relationships or circumstances.
Love can dry up.
Desertion.

Desk
(Furniture/Work)
How your life is structured
A desk can be used as a link to work, career or learning, the type of desk can help with the correct translation, if for example, you dream of a school desk then the dream might be relating to your spiritual education, It can equally link with lessons you need to learn or have learned in the past and how your education will continue to develop throughout your life. Perhaps you find it difficult to learn from your mistakes?
If the desk is a work or office desk, then the dream symbol probably relates to your physical work or occupation. The size and condition of the desk will help to relay your current workload. A desk that is too large will tell you that you find the workload heavy or that it is taking up too much room in your life, too small and you feel dissatisfied with the work that you do, or that there is not enough work to provide for your monetary needs. It may also be that you need to move on to bigger ventures or that you have outgrown your current role.
The effort you need to put into your spiritual progression.

Your work-life needs to be reassessed.

Devil
(Evil /Nightmares)
Your fears
A force to be reckoned with and overcome, the devil can portray the fight 'within' regards the facets of your own personality. There could be someone else leading you astray or tempting you with detrimental things. The devil is sometimes used as a warning not to dabble with the unknown, he will also represent any negative force that you must overcome.
The devil is in the detail!

Get rid of your fears!

Diamonds
(Crystal /Quartz)
Transparency
Diamonds can symbolise a few different things in dream language, a person who is a diamond, the durability and permanence of a relationship, the clarity of a situation and the many different facets of the personality. A diamond can represent the attributes we work hard for and the rewards that we receive for that hard work. Fake diamonds, however, express the idea that you are not actually getting what you expected, what you thought was a good thing might turn out to be worthless.
The time it takes to create perfection!
Diamonds symbolise the rewards for the enlightened.
The many facets of a strong personality!

Dice
(Games)
Take a chance or stop chancing it; you are the best judge of which personal translation is appropriate.
Probability and chance!

Digging
(Archaeology/Dirt below)
Uncovering the truth

If you are digging in a dream then you are looking for something that you or someone else have covered up or buried away, maybe you feel that something is missing in your life and you are trying to recover it. You are subconsciously looking for what is missing, this is especially true if you are unaware of what you are digging for. Spiritually you may be digging up information for your own progression or alternatively digging up the dirt on someone. If a dog is digging they are seen as the protector so will be trying to protect you from the truth or uncover the truth.

Dinner/Dining
(Café/Eating/Food/Restaurant)
Fulfilment and contentment
What you are eating is important when translating this type of dream; food provides the nourishment that is needed for personal contentment. The type of food that you are eating will help to show you if you are fully contented or not, if you are enjoying the food then you are fulfilled, if there is something wrong with the food in your dream then you feel dissatisfied with what's on your plate right now.
A balanced diet equals a balanced contented life in dreams, so all variations of eating, food, and dining will be informing you of what is provided for you spiritually or in your day to day life.
Balance in all things brings true satisfaction!
What's on your plate?

Dirt
(Cleaning)
(Digging above)
(Mud/Washing)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)
Negativity and positivity
It depends on which way dirt is used in your dream for a good translation but if something is dirty it can help you acknowledge when something needs care and attention to get rid of the negative energy that has built up. If you are dirty then negative energy is building upon and around you, but because dirt also symbolises growth it helps to explain that by learning to deal with negative energy you are also growing in alternative ways. Your ‘self-defences’ are expanding as you learn to negotiate the challenges that negative experiences or negative people bring you.
Dirt or soil is used as a template for growth and holds within it all the potential that is available for spiritual or personal growth. Mud is a mixture of dirt and water and can explain a mix of emotions and negativity and how you can get stuck in those feelings. Mud can also relay the situation of when you throw mud at someone, it usually sticks.
Dirty hands show that hard graft or a certain amount of essential maintenance is needed to get a job done, are repairs needed?
Doing the dirty work that no one else wants to do?
Digging the dirt on someone?
Clean up your act?
Spiritual growth comes from learning to overcome negativity.

Disaster Dreams
Disaster Tsunami/Tall Building Dream
Tsunami Dream
Giant Wave Dream
Plane Crash Dream
Sea Wall and Giant Wave Dream
Premonition and Warning Dreams

Dismantle
(Broken)
To reach a true understanding
To dismantle or to break something up in a dream can describe when you need to break something down into smaller and more manageable pieces, then you might understand the finer details and intricate workings. This sort of symbol will be used to represent a situation or relationship that needs further understanding.
Breakups?

Dismembered
(Amputation/Decapitated above)
To be dismembered in your dream, or to lose a limb describes that feeling when you are missing someone or something. It comes from the saying "I feel like my right arm is missing". It often symbolises a severance of some sort.
Afflictions in dreams usually represent hurts inflicted by other people's actions or words.
A need to get over a loss and heal.
Being torn apart!

Display

How it plays out
Seeing or watching a display might link with a display of feelings, perhaps a display of affection. The type of display will help you with your translation. A firework display can translate as a display of heated actions or feelings that erupt; sometimes all you can do is stand back and watch. Fireworks are also used to mark an important occasion or to celebrate an event.

Disappearing
(Shrinking)
If something or someone disappears in your dream and you are searching, then you may get frustrated at the silly games some people play with your affections. Especially if its a person who keeps disappearing, they are doing a disappearing act, and not there when you need them.
The disappearing dream could also be used when your problems disappear like magic, though look at other symbols to decide. If you dream your money disappears then I guess it's self-explanatory. If people disappear underwater its because they keep getting overcome by their emotions and you can't seem to pull them out of it, how deep they go will simply link with the depth of their emotions. You will need to ask them what's going on underneath the surface.

Are you wondering why someone doesn't stick around for long?
Do you feel invisible?

Doctor
(Chemist /Hospital /Medicine/Nurse)
Healing
Doctors are regularly used in dreams as a representation of someone who can help us, like a chemist or a nurse. The reason for this type of symbol is to make you aware that there is always a remedy for any given problem, you might have to go out there and find it, but generally, you will discover the help you need. (Not always the help you want, unfortunately)
Looking for a remedy.
Spiritual help to aid growth and healing.

Documents
(Letters /Mail)
When you are aware of any kind of documentation in your dream then perhaps the dream is attempting to bring your attention to legalities or paperwork that needs to be completed for an issue to be settled. Give further thought to the small print or to the quality of the information that you are given. When information is documented it is being saved for future reference, consider if your own actions were reflected upon, would you do things differently?

Dog
(Animals /Wolf)

Personalities and characteristics

Protectors and friends

Dogs are faithful friends and can also be viewed as protectors, so they are often used in dreams to describe the protection that is available to you from faithful companions or spiritual helpers, whereas vicious dogs can describe the vicious side of somebody’s nature. A pack of dogs or wolves represents the group soul working together to reach a goal or alternatively the pack mentality, where if one leads they all follow. Wolves at your door explain that feeling when everyone is after you for something.

Dolphin
(Animals)
Our psychic abilities are sometimes highlighted by Dolphins, communication, and using your natural instincts to help you deal with the emotional journey you are on.
Psychic communication?
The higher self.
Shared consciousness.
The guardian of your emotions.

Door
(Windows and Doors in Buildings)

Structure dream
A door in a dream is sometimes used as a signpost to show you the ‘way out’ of a situation or to inform you that as one door closes another one opens. If something is stopping the door from opening (an obstacle dream) then this helps you to acknowledge that something is stopping you from moving forward or making progress with what you want to do. If there is someone behind the door so it can't open this will be the person who stands in your way. You may or may know them? Open doors are obviously more positive than closed ones, but remember that sometimes you have to close the door on something or someone because it is time to move on.
You feel trapped by your present circumstances?
Blocked opportunities?

Dove
(Birds in Animals)
The Holy Spirit.
Peace, love, and harmony.

Dragging
(Pushing/Pulling)
If you are dragging something along in your dream, then you are trying to drag along unwanted baggage. Dragging someone along usually requires effort on your part and this dream suggests that they do not want to come along, so your efforts are wasted.
Being forced to move on.
Trying to remove obstacles.
Someone is dragging you down!

Dream Catchers
They are handmade Native American objects based on a willow hoop, on which is a woven web decorated with feathers and beads. They are believed to allow good, happy dreams through to us while protecting us from bad dreams or nightmares, which get caught in the web. In dreams, they symbolise a protective shield that we create to keep us safe from negativity or harm. If you believe in their powers, you have helped to create the power that it holds by sending out thoughts that you do not accept negativity in your dreams, these thoughts are the protective force that binds to the dream catcher and is weaved into its being, and therefore making it capable of doing the job which it was designed to do.
To dream of a dream catcher would mean that you need to sort through your ideas and motivations to separate the negative forces from the positive ones and reevaluate your life's true vocation or direction. Your dreams can be realised when you sift out the negatives from your life in the same way as a dream catcher filters out the bad dreams. You have protection from external negativity, but you must control the internal negativity that you create.

Drink
(Alcohol)
If you are thirsty in a dream it can be because you are thirsty and need to wake up and drink because sometimes our physical needs transcend into our dreams. Symbolically you may have a thirst for something else like knowledge, money or just plain old fun. Thirst dreams show us that no matter how much we receive sometimes we just cannot quench that thirst. Thirst and hunger can also show you how you are not getting what you need from life.
An Emotional thirst!

Drip/Dripping
(Leaks/Water)

Emotional release
Information about emotions is filtering through to you slowly. Maybe someone is afraid to let you know everything now.
An emotional energy leakage!

Drop
(Falling)
If you drop something in your dream, then you are basically saying "I cannot hold on to this anymore and I am going to have to let it go." Maybe this is what you are saying in your present situation, you need to drop something and let it go. If the object you drop breaks it is because you need to break from the 'thing' that is causing you the problem, or that being dropped will cause hurt. Look up the object that is dropped to help you with the translation.

Drought
(Desert above/Dry below)
Emotions
This helps you to understand that without water (emotions) nothing can grow or develop. You can wait for the drought to pass if that is what you want, but an emotional downpour might be what is needed to clear the tension. Drought can also symbolise a time of going without essential comfort, support or nurture.
Emotional wasteland.
Lack of enthusiasm?
Feeling unloved?

Drowning
(Swimming /Water)
(Drowning and Water Dreams)
Emotions
You feel like you are drowning in your own emotions, perhaps you are overcome by responsibilities and pressure and the feeling of trying to stay afloat when everything is getting on top of you is being explained by the drowning scenario. To see somebody who you know drown in your dream will relate to their ability to cope and survive when times get tough. If it is a child who you know that is drowning, then the dream is making you aware of their difficulties because you are in a position to support and help them. They are learning to cope on an emotional level, usually at times like starting school or dealing with family issues.
Learning to cope and survive emotionally with life.
Sink or swim!

Drugs
(Medicine /Pill)
Healing
To be given drugs in a dream against your will shows that you have not got control over a situation and that your own ability to make informed choices is dictated by someone else. If you take illegal drugs in a dream, then you are attempting to find a substitute for happiness which will be detrimental in the long run. Ironically drugs can also be used to represent a spiritual journey that we have no control over. Whereas taking medicine or tablets can help you understand when you need to find a cure for a problem before healing can begin.

Drum
(Dancing above/Energy /Music)
Creativity
Drummers are said to lead and dictate the pace that is needed to move you forward towards success.
The natural rhythm of life.
Dancing to somebody else's drum.
Creative energy.
Drum up some enthusiasm.
Spiritual vibration.

Dry
(Desert/Drought above)
Emotions
If something is dry in your dream then it is showing you the lack of emotional commitment from someone, dryness can also describe when the tears have dried up, perhaps it is time to move on from a situation because it has nothing of value left for you. Without water, nothing will grow therefore dryness could symbolise a lack of ability to grow or develop.

Ducks
(Animals)
The family unit
Ducks can symbolise your emotional dealings and how well you cope with emotional ups and downs, the family can be symbolised by ducks, any birds that flock together usually represent a group who look out for each other. Remember the saying ‘water off a duck's back’ and birds of a feather stick together!

Dungeon

(Basement/Cellar)
What goes on inside of you
A dungeon can be used to symbolise the hidden aspects of the personality, the dark secrets that are hidden away, it can represent depression and negative thoughts that you do not wish to acknowledge. It is where you store the information which you don't wish to deal with. Being locked in a dungeon helps you to acknowledge feelings and thoughts that are locked away, you cannot move on from them.
A prison cell?

Dusk
(Darkness/Day/Night above)
Feelings and moods
Darkness will link with depression or negativity and perhaps spiritual ignorance. Dusk is a symbol that is helping you to understand being on the edge of darkness, your positive thoughts are often overtaken by the negative ones.

Dust
(Broom/Cleaning/Dirt above)
(Sweeping /Washing)
Remnants from your past experiences
To dream of dust over an object may be showing you that your talent needs dusting off, it could mean that you have let something gather dust and now is the time to polish it and start using it again. Dust could also symbolise an idea that has turned to dust through a lack of motivation.
Dust is all that is left when something has 'gone'.
Let the dust settle?

Dwarf
Growth and development
Something is stunted and unable to grow any further, it may be spiritual growth and development, but it could also explain a situation or project that is unable to develop. An idea or a relationship that has not reached its full potential.

Ears

(Body)
Listening and not just hearing/communication dreams
Ears are all about listening, perhaps you are not listening to advice or to your own intuition, you are being warned to listen carefully to information that you are given. You are not hearing what is being said and this is hindering your full understanding of a situation. If there is something wrong with your ears in your dream then you have never been good at listening to anyone else's advice.
If your ears are burning then someone is talking about you.
If you have water in your ears then you have been listening to someone talk about their emotions and it has been drowning out your own issues.
Keep your ear to the ground for important information?
Earmuffs can explain how you wish to protect yourself from hearing what people say about you, likewise, earphones help you to distract yourself from other peoples' opinions.
Is someone giving you an ear-hole bashing?

Earth
(Planets)
(Visiting other countries)
The mother earth might be used as a symbol of creation, reminding us that we are all united in our continued existence on earth. See the whole picture instead of individual pieces of a situation.
What's going on in your little world?
The whole consciousness!
Our natural resourcefulness.
Someone would give you the earth.
Completeness!
The mother!

Earthquake
Occasionally some people dream about earthquakes and can predict their occurrence. Disruption and destructiveness often bring about a shift of consciousness.
Something will shake your world.
Are you on shaky ground?

Easter
(Egg/Jesus)

The Easter symbolism might come from the resurrection of Christ and help to explain the rebirth process. You start again when you have let go of the pain and hurt from the past.
Easter eggs can represent fertility.
Putting all your eggs in one basket?

Eating
(Dining /Café /Food/Restaurant)
Fulfilment and satisfaction
In dreams, eating equals fulfilment and the things that are on offer to provide towards your satisfaction and contentment. The quality of the food can explain the value of the people around you who contribute to your happiness. The type of food will always be important to help you with the translation so look up individual food types as well.
Trying to eat in a dream can represent a hunger for something, you could be hungry for success or fame, but equally, it could just be your basic requirements that need to bring you contentment. If the food, you are eating is not very nice or tasteless it can explain when you are not content with your lot, and that your situation does not provide the right kind of sustenance which your soul desires. It can also provide a representation of boredom and a lack of variety in your life.
If you are hungry but cannot find food, it shows that you do not really know what you want from life or how to find it if you did. It can also provide a symbol for when you hunger for something.
Looking for food describes when you are searching for something that could make you happy, and trying different foods in a dream is telling you to have a taste of different scenarios to see what you like and what you don't like. If you are preparing food for other people in your dream then you are trying to cater to their needs before your own, this can mean that you become discontented. Food will symbolise what you are being dished up in the way of circumstance in your life, or what you are dishing up for the people around you.

Echo
Repeated patterns
If you happen to dream of an echo then it represents a repeated pattern that you are caught up in, you may be saying the same thing over and over to no avail, or you are dealing with the same problem yet again. Maybe you are not listening to advice that is given to you or you are repeating the same advice to someone else.
A repeated pattern of actions and words?
A cycle of events.
An echo from the past?

Eclipse
(Energy /Moon /Sun)
An eclipse describes the joining together of emotions and creative energy to form the mix needed for a project, or for the next section of your life. The time has arrived for change and an exceptional set of circumstances can be used to your advantage. The sun is at the centre of our solar system and all other planets and moons revolve around it, when there is an alignment it marks an important event and therefore will mark a time when the planets have aligned to create a balance between people as well as planets. Therefore you should use this time to bring balance and harmony into your relationships. The power of the eclipse will provide energy for anything that needs to be completed or brought to conclusion.
Is someone eclipsing your talents and skills?
What is getting in your way?

Education

(Essays/Exams /School /Tests/Writing)

(Test and Exam Dreams)

(The Teacher Dream)

Experience and learning
Educational institutions remind us of the need to acknowledge the things we must do to make progress. Life's lessons can be hard to learn at times, but it is how we come through and get over the obstacles that it presents us with that will count towards a complete understanding of life itself.
People often dream about schools when they are on their own spiritual journey, and rather than represent life learning, these dreams can be used to describe your spiritual inner learning, you may be the teacher or the student or both, and the dream refers to the help you give to other people. Teachers often have school dreams long after they have left education, their work is never done, once a teacher always a teacher. If you are a carer you'll always be a carer and the same applies to anyone who works for the betterment of others.
Experience comes from experience
If you dream that you fail at school or college its because you fear that you are failing at something, the pressure to succeed at everything can become too much and you should give yourself a break. Look at things differently, the school of life is about the experience, success wouldn't exist without failure.
Infant/Junior School
Revisiting infant school hints at regressing towards infant behaviour and the need to grow up. If you are at infant school with your kids in the dream and they are grown up now, then you miss the time when they were young and in your control, you wish that their learning was simple like when they were infants, you probably wish this for yourself as well.
Secondary School
Are you stuck in a phase of life that you want to move on from? There is still more you need to learn. You haven't managed to overcome an aspect of your own character, think about your character weaknesses, can you forgive, are you kind? Do you want to go back to the past because it feels safe?
University
You have moved on to the next phase of life's learning but things can get complicated or difficult to understand.
Hard work but also a time of enjoying your freedom.
Spiritual graduation!

Eel
(Animals)
Eating or catching eels in a dream can present the cycle of life, incorporating beginnings and endings. Catching an eel instead of fish can warn you that a new partner is not all you wished for.
A slippery person?

Eiffel Tower

(Visiting other countries)
This will link with romance and the structure itself will symbolise the strength and longevity of a relationship.

Elastic
Elastic describes something that will spring back; this could be a quality that you should try to adopt. Elastic can also represent a relationship that expands or has the benefit of falling back into place no matter how much it is stretched.
Elastic could also symbolise money that returns to you, or perhaps money is tight, and the elastic describes how finances are over-stretched. Therefore, you will need to consider your own situation to gain a true understanding of elasticity.

Be flexible!

Electricity
(Energy)
(Gas /Lightning/Petrol)
(Machinery)
A creative energy source that is at your disposal, but it can be destructive if it isn’t harnessed correctly. If you are electrocuted in your dream it can show how you could get your fingers burned if you play with forces that you do not understand.
Spiritual power.
Harnessing available energy.
The physical chemistry between couples?

Elements
The essentials of life and the way we mix the different elements to create something else of value. This can help you understand that new things come from challenging and mixing different elements, this will help you to create new dimensions to a relationship or to an idea that you are working on. An electrical element can be used to symbolise the different elements required for a romantic relationship to ignite.
Try not to create a monster!

Elevator
(Energy/Equipment below/Lift)
(Claustrophobic Dreams)
(Machinery)
How the elevator performs in your dream will simply represent the way you are feeling right now, up, down, stuck, etc. The ups and downs that you experience throughout your life!
Going up in the world?

Email
(Computer/Letter /Telephone)
This will link with communication and has replaced sending a letter for the most part. It will be important to look at all the symbols that you get in your dream regarding the email as this could be used to explain complications with communications. Not being able to send an email highlights an inability to communicate what you want to say or that the person you wish to communicate with is unresponsive. This is very similar to not being able to talk on the telephone. Dreams use new versions of technology to get a message across because they are more appropriate for today's dreamer. When you dream of trying to communicate using old fashioned methods like an old-fashioned telephone switchboard or telegram it is to help you understand that your communication methods are outdated and that if you wish to be understood you will have to develop new and interesting ways of getting your message across. Perhaps you are trying to communicate to the younger generation using outdated methods and you must get on their wavelength to be understood by them.
Receiving an email in a dream represents receiving information, you may or may not want this information, but get it you will! Sometimes we get too much information and it clogs up our mind, in the same way that the inbox of email gets clogged with junk mail. Junk mail can also help you understand when you are hearing rubbish from someone or when they are talking crap so to speak.

Embroidery

(Darn /Knitting /Wool)

Creativity
Embroidery represents creation in the making; it can express the vibrational pattern that you are creating with love, patience, and hard work. Embroidery portrays how the finer details combine and build a bigger picture for you to understand, it takes time and patience to get a greater understanding.

Emeralds
(Jewels)

The little gems in your life
These jewels represent growth and new beginnings, intensified by the green colour. They are called the stone of successful love. They have a healing quality and can heal the heart of the previous hurt.

Empty
(Bare /Hole)

How you feel inside
If something is empty in a dream it usually represents how you feel inside or your own lack of energy stores. Empty purses express that common situation where you have no money or are financially under pressure but always translate 'what' is empty in your dream for a better translation.

Energy
(Aura /Bank /Cables )
(Machinery)
Video about Energy and Vibration
To understand energy in its many forms you must first consider that the whole universe is devised from energy. Vibration assists energy to create and energy is carried in waves throughout the universe, as the energy vibrates it becomes a self-creating energy source, therefore, it is infinite! Vibration is balanced and/or chaotic and gives rise to the creation of life itself, from the smallest minute forms of life to the greater more complex life forms.
Humans can create positive and negative energy in the way that they think and react, the environment or the people around you also create a negative/positive vibration which models surroundings to be balanced or chaotic. Because we draw our energy from the environment it depends on what we have put in as to what we will get back. This is where the belief comes from what you give out is what you get back. If you create positive energy by being positive and doing and thinking positive things then the energy you get back is restorative, it recharges and re-energises you with positive energy. Thinking negatively and doing negative things creates a negative vibration that absorbs the same from the environment and from the energy stores of the people who are in your vicinity.
Most people balance precariously between the two states of vibration and swing naturally too and throw between being positive and negatively inclined. This information is important when you translate your dreams because the energy that you have available to you at any given time will depend on your own state of mind and the way you allow negativity to overpower the positive energy vibration. If for example, you wanted to make progress with a work project, its success will be dependent on the available energy stores from yourself and the people who are there to help you, the energy would need to be a positive one to be creative. Negative vibrational energy does not produce positive creativity or positive outcomes.
Your dreams can help to explain this process and let you know if the correct energy is available for you to use for the things that you want to do. You are the creator of the energy source and you can make adjustments at any time to address an imbalance, but it will mean changing the way that you think, and this is not always easy because of the energy created by other people, therefore, you must learn to block negative energy coming in from others and make good use of your own energy when you have it.
In dream language, many symbols can be used to represent your own energy levels and/or the energy that you attract back to yourself. The symbols used to express energy are ones which you will recognise, for example, petrol and diesel are the energy sources used as symbols which express progression or digression, gas, electricity, nuclear energy, and even the weather can also represent energy, they all help to explain 'power' which can be used negatively or positively

Gas and electricity provide a symbol for the energy needed for your home life, your home comforts, and your right to feel loved, which is often symbolised in dream language by warmth, which of course is also provided by these types of energy sources. Incidentally, light is seen as a source of positive energy and a dream where there is a problem with electricity or light is often trying to tell you about an imbalance that has been created. The sun provides another energy source that revitalises and instigates growth, it is often used in dreams to help you understand what you need to do to feel happy and content. Nuclear energy is powerful but it comes with the negative consequence of leaving waste so it can symbolise situations when using power and energy has consequences that will stay around for a very long time.
Your own aura can help to describe your energy levels and the colours and vibrancy give you information about your spiritual and physical well being, as well as your moods and feelings. Unseen energy forces literally help you to understand the hidden forces that can have power over you, even though you can’t see them, things like negative entities, attitudes, thoughts, and ideas which have been developed from your culture, religion, class or family upbringing. All these types of invisible forces have power over the way that you think and the current choices that you make, these things affect you even though you cannot physically see them. Learning to block out negative forces is a skill that is useful in anyone's life.

Engine
(Cars/Energy above)
(Machinery/Transport)
Any kind of engine provides the energy to move forward on life's roads or on your personal journey towards growth. The engine keeps us ticking over and ensures we have the power to do the things we need to do or get to where we want to be. It will therefore often describe when advancement can be made. If there is a problem with the engine in your dream or it isn't working properly then there is an issue with the energy you have available to make progress on your present chosen course. The mind, body, or spirit is lacking in motivation or physical energy, maintenance needs to be done before you can move forward.

Equipment
(Elevators above)
(Lifts/Machinery)
Any type of equipment in your dream will possibly link with equipment that you use in your everyday life; dreams deliver symbols that you recognise to help you understand the meaning better. For example, if you are using sports equipment in a dream and you do this regularly in the waking state think about what the equipment is used for to help yourself understand what the dream is trying to say.

A running machine would be showing you that with all the effort you are putting into something you are not really making much progress. You are however building up your stamina which will pay dividends when you do eventually choose a path to take.
Lifting weights requires energy and hard work and might represent the effort you must put into projects or relationships before they will pay dividends. Weights can also symbolise the weight or the pressure that you are under.
Machinery requires an input of energy and action, we are working machines especially our working selves, so consider your own energy, drive, and motivation and if or not you are getting the results that you want in contrast to the effort you are putting in. Any problems with the equipment you are using in your dream might suggest that other obstacles are getting in the way of progress.

Eruptions
(Volcano)
Eruptions quite simply translate as heated outbursts of anger or frustration. There is a need to release pent up anger or overwhelming feelings that can cause outbursts and can change the way your life structured.

Escalator
(Elevators above/Energy/Equipment above)
(Lifts/Machinery)

Things that escalate
Escalators carry us up towards our destination and down again, so, they can be used in dreams to present the ups and downs of trying to progress with a course of action. This type of dream usually links with the journey dream and simply plays out how you feel your current journey is progressing.
Most machinery requires an energy source to work and this type of dream can relate to your own energy stores and if or not they are sufficient for you to make progress.
A situation that escalates.
Help is available for your current journey.
The ups and downs of life.

Escape

The freedom to be happy
Making an escape in a dream represents your own need to escape or break free from the problems that your life presents you with. Managing to escape whatever is trapping you in a dream just shows you that there is a way out for you if you are prepared to put in the effort. We don't always know the ending in the dream and that just because the ending of a situation isn't known in your waking life.

Essay
(Exams below)
(School/Tests/Writing)
Trying to write an essay in your dreams links with acknowledging what you have learned so far and getting it out there for other people to share. This is more of a spiritual dream and relates to your own understanding of the whole point of life. You are here to experience and pass on what you have learned from that experience. Your writing should be thought about as well, small writing describes when you feel small in comparison to other people and that you feel like your experiences are not as important in the greater scheme of things. Not true of course. Big handwriting describes someone confident and outgoing, taking pride in their achievements.
The need to express yourself freely.
Share what you know!

Evergreens
Everlasting spiritual growth.
Lasting love.

Evil
(Devil/Nightmares)
Negativity
When evil presents itself in a dream it is warning you that there could be an attack on the good things you have built up around you. An evil force attacking you can represent how your endurance is tested along with your ability to overcome negativity. There is a need to protect yourself sufficiently against negative forces. The fight of good against evil goes on inside everyone at one time or another.

Ex-Partner Dream

Exams
(Accomplish)

(Education above/Essay above)
(Tests/Writing)
(Test and Exam Dreams)
In dream language, exams relay your own thoughts about your progress in any section of your life. Not being able to do the exam or overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of completion provides a way for you to acknowledge that you are finding it difficult to be successful or to get over obstacles when they arrive in your life. You feel hindered against progress because you haven’t recognised the fact that life isn’t really a test, failure is equally as valuable as success. Sometimes it is hard to make sense of the test or exam you are trying to complete and this explains how you find life difficult to understand.
Failing exams can be a fear dream, overcome your fears or they will stand in your way, learn relaxation, meditation anything for you to control your fears.
Exam results will represent your own feelings about what you are good at and what you are not so good at, you should think about your strengths and weaknesses, your exam results might be a representation of them. There is no judgment from others, you are simply exploring your strengths and weaknesses to think about if you would like to change them and work on them for yourself.
Live to experience and learn to love!
Tests of endurance?

Exercise
(Energy above)
(Machinery)
You may need to work out which translation fits better with your current situation but doing exercises can represent the effort you put into being attractive and fit, but you can also use the power that you create for your self-improvement spiritually and not just for the physical benefits, exercise the mind as well as the body.
Doing exercises can also be used as a way to help you understand obstacles and illustrate how the energy you put into something isn't always equal to the success you get out, treadmills are an obvious example of this, this happens because even though you have a good store of positive energy it is being transferred onto people or things that do not give it back, they become a drain on your energy.
Exercise your rights as a person.
Exercise your mind.
Use your energy wisely for the best results.

Exit
Journey Dream
To see an exit sign in a dream should bring your attention to the fact that it is time to get out of a situation. There is a way out available to you, you just need to look for it.

Exorcist/Exorcism
Trying to release negativity.
Getting rid of someone negative from your life.
The expelling of negative influences.

Explosions
(Bomb/Energy)
Bombs describe explosive situations that have probably developed from a build-up of negative energy, the situation is volatile and can have a devastating effect on the layout of your life unless action is taken to defuse a situation.

Fabric
(Material)
(The Tatty Dress Dream)
The fabric of life and its intricate design.
Fabrics and materials can be used to represent the quality of something so you should look at what the fabric is being used for and if it's fit for purpose. Worn out or tatty fabric will describe how you feel worn-out or worn-down. Lovely illustrious fabrics will give a positive spin to any scenario you dreamed of. Fabric can represent the tight-knit community and the family and all that goes into making them get along together.

Face
(Body)
This image is used to show the facade that we show to other people, or what face they show us. When we look at someone’s face we do not always see what is going on behind the mask, dream images connected to the face can give us an insight as to what is really going on. Disfigurements will portray a disfigured idea of what we look like, or how unreasonable our insecurities are, you might have a disfigured opinion of someone else.
Face your problems head-on!
Two-faced?

Fair/Fairground

(Energy)

(Fairground Rides)
(Carousels /Slide)
Fairground rides can be thrilling and exciting and can explain an enjoyable time or phase, but they can also be translated as an obstacle dream because most rides are static and tend to repeat the same pattern, therefore they represent an addiction or hobby which although enjoyable stands in the way of your real progress. You are entitled to have fun, but when it gets in the way of making progress it becomes a habit that needs to be broken. To find a balance you must understand the notion of all things in moderation. There are connotations towards an enjoyable sexual encounter through the experience of fairground rides or maybe some other short enjoyable journey.
Cars/Dodgems
(Machinery)
Your life journey is just going around and around at the minute with a few crashes here and there.
Collisions?
Ghost Train
(Tunnel Dreams)
Ghosts usually help you to recognise the past or anything that you have moved on from which then resurrects so that you must deal with it again. A Ghost train will represent a daunting section of your life where you are afraid of what is going to happen next. This part of your journey is going to be scary because it might require you to conquer your fears.

House of Mirrors
(See Disfigured/Face above/Mirror)
The many different faces that we have and how they can become an obstacle in our efforts to move forward. Mirrors reflect the person who we really are and a house of mirrors suggests that we are actually a combination of many facets, some attributes are a benefit and allow us to move forward and some are detrimental to us and hold us back because they stop other people really getting to know us.
Trickery?
False opportunities?
Swings
The backward/forward motion can sublimely represent inertia and that you are not moving forward but rather backwards and forwards or repeating the same actions over and over. The journey through life is seen as negotiating swings and roundabouts.
Swinging between ideas?
Mood swings?

Fairy
(People)
Your wishes and dreams are highlighted.
Nature Spirits.

Fake
(Counterfeit)

It could symbolise an enterprise that you are wasting your energy on, you will not get the reward for your effort and no purposeful satisfaction will be gained.
Someone is being fake.
It’s not the real deal!

Falling
(Parachute)
This dream can happen when we feel that we could fall off the precipice of life at any given moment. You have lost touch with your own coping abilities. Falling backwards can occasionally show that you need to have faith in someone else to catch you, or that you feel there isn't anyone to catch you if you fall.

If you fall in a dream and then wake up it is because the result isn't known. It is never written in stone how you will deal with a situation, much depends on your own response to problems. A fall can symbolise hitting rock bottom, so the outcome depends on your abilities to pick yourself up and start again. If you see someone else fall in a dream then the symbolism is about their journey, you may or may not be able to help them get up.
Are you falling back into old ways?
Heading for a fall?

Family
(People)
(The Ex-Partner Dream)
Dreaming of our family is the most common dream scenario and most of our dreams will be based in and around the family unit, this is because our own happiness and contentment are dependent upon their presence and continued participation.
The role our family plays in our life ensures that we reach important milestones; they help us to play out situations for us to develop and grow as an individual. The relationships we have with our family members can be both positive and negative, but they style the person we become. The separate roles themselves can provide a symbol in dream translation and back up whatever else is happening in a dream scenario.
When you are translating dreams about different family members it is wise to consider the positive and negative aspects of the role that they play in your life, even if a family member is no longer with you the message can still be understood. If there is a problem with your relationship with a family member it can be unpicked in your dreams and solutions may be found.
The Family
Positive Role: Your security blanket or support network.
Negative Role: Demanding, selfishness.

Mother
Positive role: Nurturing and loving, helping you to advance.

Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins
These family members provide support from the outskirts or partial support.
Family and illness
If you dream about a family member being unwell it is usually because they need your help, it doesn’t always mean that they are ill physically more likely they are simply vulnerable. Sometimes we have premonition dreams about our loved ones to help us understand what is happening in their life, we are being given information that we may not otherwise have, family illness can be used to help you face your fears about your family members especially when your own peace of mind is dependent on them being fit and healthy. Fear stands in the way of enjoyment and so your dreams will help you to conquer unreasonable fears.

Famous
(Actor/Actress)
(Dreams About Celebrities)
If there is someone famous in your dream then the symbolism of who it is maybe more relevant and apt for your situation, think about the character that they play perhaps they have qualities you need to adopt. They could, of course, represent someone around you who wants to be noticed. If you are famous in a dream, then your talents and attributes will be noticed and admired, just make sure it's in a good way.

Fare
(Getting a ticket to ride dream)
(Energy /Ticket/Travel)

The price you pay to get ahead
Having to pay a fare in a dream reminds you that you must pay to get where you want to be, eg when you are offered a brilliant job but it will take all your free time away from you, you are literally paying a forfeit to get where you want to go.
You can pay the price for mistakes that you have made as well. This type of symbol can also relay the message that ‘it’s not fair’ and it can help you to understand that if you want the rewards you will have to work for them.
Play fair!

Farm
(Animals /Zoo)
Being self-sufficient, providing for the family and the craziness of family life can be portrayed by a farmyard. Animal characteristics help us to acknowledge the many different personalities and characters living together and making things work even though everyone is different.
The family growing from strength to strength or not?

Fast

The speed which things move forward or backwards
To be moving fast in any way in a dream shows you that you are making substantial progress with something important, you are learning quickly from past mistakes and are getting along much better. To be moving too fast shows how you cannot keep up with the demands of life or that you want everything to happen quickly. You do not appreciate the experience if things move too fast.
Moving too fast in a relationship?

Fasting

Respect and challenging yourself for growth
If you are fasting in a dream it highlights how you need to make spiritual sacrifices.
Starved of love and affection?
To go without is to feel divine!

Fat
Being fat in a dream can help you to understand that too much of something isn’t good for you. This dream could also highlight your own insecurities about the way you look and feel. Being fat is also a way to describe contentment and a carefree approach to life. It could describe a person who enjoys life and doesn't worry too much about the consequence of overindulging in whatever makes them happy. Someone else being fat might be helping you to understand that contentment doesn't always come from where you expect it, perhaps you feel that other people seem to find contentment but you struggle to maintain it for long.

Dream about a fat man

There was a fat man outside my house who happened to transform into a nice-looking guy. This man has appeared in my previous dream. When I saw him transforming, I whispered that he looks familiar. ( I don't know him in real life) He was trying to get inside, so I was trying to close all the windows and doors, but I failed to close the window in my room. Finally, he came in and even changed his clothing into my pyjamas. I tried to confront him and almost saw his face closely, but I woke up.

The man being fat and then turning into a nice looking man will probably be about your first thoughts about someone, maybe you will be unsure if you like him or not. But after a bit of time, you'll change your mind about him. This is probably a description of someone who you don't know yet, perhaps he is someone who you will meet because he was familiar to you. Him attempting to get inside your home is trying to explain how he will try hard to become part of your family, like a new partner or something like this. You, on the other hand, will have your defences up and try to shut him out. He gets in any way eventually and wants to get comfortable with you, (putting his Pjs on) which could be a symbol of him wanting to get in your bed if you know what I mean. You'll have to just wait and see what happens.

Animal fat could be used to explain the situation whereby you feel like your always left with the fat and somebody else gets the lean (meat) not a fair situation to stomach is it?

An excess of something?

Stuff to get over, large or small!

Field
(Park )
A field can describe the expanse of your own dreams and wishes, the condition of the field will help explain if your ideas or dreams can materialise or grow into something worthwhile.

Field of dreams?

Fight
(Battle /War)
A fight can be symbolic of an internal fight, like beating your own demons, or for a problem that needs to be overcome.
Confrontations?
Fight for a cause!
Do you have the energy to fight?

Film
(Camera )
If the image of a film presents in your dream, then you are being shown an example of events, it might be about you or somebody else. You might not understand the message at all but your subconscious will absorb the information and make use of it later. Films are a way to capture events and save the information for later, but you can also project your inner thoughts and feelings outwards, creating a scene that you can process easier than trying to sort through your own thoughts. You are processing smaller chunks to gain a clearer perspective, dreams actually work in the same way and are like watching short films being played out.
Being aware that you are watching a film in a dream is another way for you to understand that you are ultimately a mere observer of everything that goes on around you, you don't always feel able to change events or steer them in another direction. Consider if there could possibly be some symbolism taken from the film title or genre. It's often the case that you don't remember much about it, or only remember a few things. If the film is unconnected to a movie but a composite of stories and events being played out, then this type of dream can be likened to a life review where you are 'watching and learning' merely to try and understand experiences. They might not even be your experiences but are experiences of other people.

Filming
(Camera )
To be filming or using a recording device in a dream is a way of reminding you not to ignore important moments in time; Do not let time pass without seeing the importance and value in events that happen around you.
If someone is filming you then the symbolism could be warning you to be aware that someone is watching you closely.
Value the experience!

(Hands in Body)

To have a finger stuck in something is to be ‘involved’ in some way, perhaps a situation that you would like a release from. Fingers can also count as digits in dreams and be used for counting reoccurrences of events.

Flame
(Energy)
(Fire above)

(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)

Feeling floored by circumstance?

Food
(Café /Dining/Eating/Restaurant)
(Fridge Dream)

(Getting different food to what you asked for)
Food can help to explain our level of fulfilment, this should be something that we maintain ourselves but often we want to get it from other people. Food is used as a symbol of sustenance which provides contentment for us so that we can grow and develop as human beings. Finding the right balance of personal contentment and giving to others is important and a balanced diet is simply a term to explain the need for inner balance, which we all thrive on.
If there is something wrong with the food that you dream about then there is a problem with the source of your own contentment. Rotten food suggests that you feel as though you are getting a rotten deal from situations or from the people around you, they take more than they give you and perhaps some relationships have passed their sell-by date.
Food that isn’t cooked properly informs you about a relationship or project that isn’t ready to work out, it needs more time and understanding to be practical or enjoyed more thoroughly. Raw food explains how you are getting a raw deal.
Tasteless food helps you to understand that a relationship or project will not provide anything enjoyable so you might end up feeling dissatisfied with the outcome in relation to the work you have put in, tasteless food can also be used to describe boredom and lack of vitality but if you dream of nice tasty food it translates the feeling of happiness and contentment from relationships and ventures that you undertake.
Food for the soul.

Food for thought.
Something leaves a bad taste in your mouth?
Food
Apple
If there is a maggot in the apple in your dream then there is something that is eating away at the good things that you have worked hard for, or maybe something is eating away at you. To be eating a fresh juicy apple reminds you that the good things in life can come after a period of waiting and to enjoy the good things while they last, but be careful and make sure you trust the person offering you a juicy apple in a dream.
Fruit usually symbolises a fruitful time.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree?
Bread
Sustenance both spiritually and monetary, the basic ingredients we have available to us can be mixed together to create something else of better value.
Bread is used as a symbol of the body of Christ in the Christian faith and brings blessings to you with the need to accept help when it is offered.

Biscuits
Like cake and sweets, we need some moments of fun and enjoyment mixed in with the hard work that we do to feel more contented.
Create a balance!
Cake
You need some enjoyment in your life.
Having your cake and eating it?
A piece of the action?
It will be a piece of cake!
Carrot
A carrot can be viewed as an incentive, consider the saying ‘dangling a carrot’ this might be appropriate when you need encouragement to do something that you have been putting off, or when you need something to aim for. This dream is reminding you to find some inspiration if you are not happy with what you have.
Chicken
To be eating chicken in a dream could express feeling fulfilled with the result of the effort that you have been brave enough to put into a project or creation. As long as there is nothing wrong with the dream chicken.
Fish
Raw fish can show that spiritual and emotional nourishment may be needed but not readily accepted, you are not ready for the experiences you are dealing with.
Fish (Living) can symbolise the search for a partner but this is more appropriate with fish that are alive and swimming around (in your dream) and not one which is being eaten, as in this case, it can symbolise your need for nourishment or physical, mental, or sexual stimulation.
Fruit
The fruits of your labour, enjoy the rewards of your success and hard work. The ripeness of fruit will help you see if a situation, project, creation or relationship is ready to work. If the fruits decay or are spoiled, circumstances out of your control can affect your efforts and hard work.
Lemons/Limes
The bitter-sweet taste of success.
Bitter words spoken.
Bitterness in general.
Meat
If the meat you see or eat in your dream isn't cooked or is raw it can show that you are not getting what is good for you or that the time isn’t right to enjoy success, more work is needed. Raw meat can also show that you feel undervalued and raw.
If you are a vegetarian and are eating meat in a dream it can explain how some things are forced upon you against your own will. The intention of this type of dream will link with your own contentment and that other people often enforce their will over yours, therefore, you must take control of your own choices. If however, you enjoy the meat you are eating even though you wouldn’t eat it in your waking life, the dream could be bringing your attention to your health and that you need to find other alternative food that can give you the iron needed for your body to function at its best.
Cooked meat can foretell prosperity and contentment.
Milk
Our basic nourishment and needs will be taken care of but if the milk is sour it shows how past satisfactions are outdated or past their best. We need the essentials in our life before we can get our luxuries.
Nourishment for growth.
Mustard
To dream of mustard could warn you to watch your words or the way you deliver those words to other people.
Hot and saucy?
Mushroom
Mushrooms can symbolise the growth process and the fact that they can grow without light might cast a spiritual translation over the dream because to be able to flourish in the absence of light can mean that even in the worst circumstances a person is capable of spiritual growth and enlightenment. Magic mushrooms might also link with enlightenment because they create an induced state of meditation.
Nuts
Storing away the things that you need for later, saving money perhaps, or using your skills and talents to increase your finances. Dreaming of nuts in some circumstances could also be symbolic for someone who is nuts. (Crazy)
Onions
Onions are recognised for their healing attributes and the fact that they can absorb negativity and impurities.
The multilayered personality or situation!
Pie
It depends on what is in the pie, but pies can symbolise the things we create and put together using our own skills and talents, either spiritually or actively. Being creative and then being able to apply that creativity to everyday life and the people you mix with. If the pie is misshaped or under-cooked etc. it just highlights that you need to practice your skills and put more effort into a project to create success.
A pie is often used to describe what you have on your plate at the moment, consider if it is overfilled, underfilled or overcooked/under-cooked and if the symbolism is appropriate to describe your financial position or your personal circumstance.
To get a piece of the pie is to get a piece of the action!
Salad
Eating salad in a dream can translate as feeling unfulfilled or undernourished emotionally or spiritually.
Variety in all things brings balance and a healthy attitude.
'Salad days' is an expression which symbolises the carefree nature of youth.
Sweets

(Candycane dream)
Be careful when translating dreams about sweets or sugar because our bodies help to inform us through our dreams that we are taking 'in' too much of them literally, but it depends on the other circumstances in the dream.
Time for the pleasant things in life.
Sweet success.
Vegetables
Everything in moderation is the key to true spiritual fulfilment and vegetables can translate this message easily in a dream. Big vegetables symbolise growth and nourishment or anything 'big and positive' that is on the horizon.
Rotten vegetables show how things can decay and turn bad. Odd shaped vegetables represent an odd or mystifying set of circumstances.

Forest
Being in a Forest Dream

Fridge
(Fridge on Fire Dream)
(Machines)
A fridge is a preserver so it can be linked with preservation, saving what you have, making it last longer, etc. This would also link with food, which is symbolic of satisfaction and fulfilment in dream language, or what's available now for you to feel content and happy. Other symbolism can be gained from the fridge symbol, for example, a broken fridge might be helping you understand that you don't have the energy to keep everyone happy, or that someone else doesn't have the energy to keep you happy, whichever fits. Because a fridge is cold it will also link with the feeling of being left out in the cold. Perhaps it is a lonely time, where no one feels particularly content.
A fridge has also been used in dream language as a representation of someone who is quite frigid and cold. It's really worth looking at other symbols regards the fridge to help you understand the full meaning because fridges often portray duo meanings, dreaming of a fridge on fire, for example, is a way to understand that coldness can be replaced by passion rather quickly but it might end as fast as it started.
A fridge with no light inside or a light that isn't working is a way of explaining that you don't know what you need to feel content, and can't see anything that takes your fancy. On the other hand, a fridge full of yummy food is a way for you to see when there is plenty on offer, and that there is time to make a choice about your future happiness.

Freezers
(Machines)
Freezers are sometimes used in dream language to translate the idea of being frozen in time when a person doesn't wish to move forward, or they are stuck in the past. They might have memories from the past that prevent them from being warm and happy now, and a certain amount of heart thawing is needed before they can feel happy again.
Take note of what was in the freezer, was it full or empty? Emptiness is an easy feeling to express. To be full and cold is a way of understanding when someone feels that they don't have enough room in their life for anyone else.
Freezers are preservers but give us the idea that something is static and rigid, people often let their heart become frozen and rigid to preserve themselves.

Frog
Development and growth.
Change!
The frog that turned into a prince?

Funeral
(Death )
People hate funeral dreams for obvious reasons but attending a funeral can show you that you have buried a part of yourself, or that you need to say goodbye to a part of yourself that has no real function anymore. This is a common dream when young people become adults with responsibilities. A time of mourning must pass before you can accept the changes that have occurred. If you attend the funeral of someone whom you know then the symbolism may be appropriate for them.
Your fears are highlighted by death dreams in the sense that you fear the loss of something or someone that you want to keep, the unknown is terrifying, and you fear how you will cope if you have to let something go. To truly move on in life you must first bury the past and mourn all the past hurts but then let them go, sometimes we mourn the loss of a friendship or partnership.
Letting go of the past and moving into the future.

Furnace
(Fire )
A place to put all the past hurt and negativity, once and for all.

Furniture
(Armchair/Table )
The furniture of our lives, sometimes it needs repairs, renewing or just moving around to fit in better. Furniture being a structure like buildings can provide a symbol for how we structure our personal or working lives and the condition of the furniture gives clues to how stable the structures are.
Bed
To dream of a bed can give classification to your own thoughts and feelings about your love life; if the bed is empty you may be feeling lonely or neglected, alternatively, it could depict that a space in your life needs to be filled.

If the bed is broken it suggests that there is some part of a personal relationship that is broken and in need of repair, it may well be relating to intimacies. You may also feel 'broken' about a relationship.
A big plump bed can denote or foretell happiness, warmth, and contentedness in love, whereas a sparsely covered bed can represent how you feel that the cold is setting in and you need to address this to bring back the warmth to a personal relationship.
Chairs
The ability to find comfort and rest, the condition of the chair will help you see how you manage to take time out for yourself, consider how comfortable a chair is, does it offer support? A chair can also be used to explain one’s place in society, for example, a chairperson is someone who controls or oversees how a society runs. A chair can represent a manager and the size and type of chair will symbolise a hierarchy arrangement and where you are placed within that system.
Cupboards
If the cupboards are bare it usually shows a lack of monetary resources or the emptiness you feel inside. Wardrobes or dressers will be more about your personal belongings and what you feel you have achieved on a personal level.
The stuff we shut away and hide from others.
Self-worth.
Tables
The tables are turning!
Home comforts.
Link with, home, work, social and recreational pursuits where appropriate.

Card games

(Ace)
To dream of playing a game of cards with someone else could show that you are trying to beat them at their own game. If you are playing a game like patience it would suggest that you need to learn patience as an attribute, you may be playing the waiting game.
In dreams the deck of cards could be giving the message about the hand you are dealt right now, and also about how you play that hand forward.
Gambling games

Garden

(Allotment)

Growth and maturity

A garden can depict and translate your own creativeness and/or your ability to grow spiritually. The shrubs, plants, and flowers represent the spiritual journey and the beauty that can be found when you are at one with the world around you. The more beautiful the garden the more developed and spiritual the personality. Tend to your spiritual garden as well as your earthly one and cultivate your spiritual beauty.
Trees
Trees often symbolise growth and strength, they help to clean the air that we breathe and are important towards getting rid of negativity. Evergreens highlight the longevity of relationships or projects and slow-growing trees remind you that strength comes with experience and time.
Lawn
In garden dreams, the condition of a lawn is often used to describe the maintenance needed to ensure quality and this can relate to your home life, spiritual life or the relationships you have with other people. Grass reminds you that to keep things in tip-top condition you must put in the work regularly. In other words, don't let the weeds take over. Relationships need your time and energy to be kept in good condition, but this symbol can be used for many situations that need regular care before it goes wayward and wild.
Weeds
Weeds are often used to depict annoying things that pop up and require your energy and time to get rid of them. Pruning gives a similar message but relates more to future investments and that to make cutbacks now will ensure that the future blossoms.
Being led up the garden path?

Garlic
Protection from negative influences.
The root of a problem.

Gas
(Electricity/Energy/Engine/Petrol)
(Machinery)
Gas is a symbol for energy that is created by you or other people, this energy can be positive or negative energy. Gas is an ideal symbol for a situation that is volatile and can explode if not handled in the right way. Gas leaks explain this further because they imply that damage will be done if a situation is left unchecked, there is a buildup of negative energy which if left alone will explode outwards and change your current set up. Gas is also used as a heat source to cook with, therefore consider if your dream cooker is working correctly, gas will link with all the things that keep us comfortable and warm.
Problems with a gas connection or supply represent the difficulties you experience in maintaining the energy required from you. Gas must be controlled properly to be of use and like your own energy stores if the right balance isn’t maintained it can become negative energy which then becomes explosive.

Gates
(Tunnels and Gateway Dreams)
Barriers and obstacles
Gates take us somewhere so think about where that is in your dream, they can help us to recognise that there is a way forward even when it seems like no progress is being made. If a gate is locked it can be classed as an obstacle dream and describe something that is closed off to you.
Breaking through barriers such as gates, doors, and fences in dreams has more to do with breaking down the barriers that stop you from making progress.

Ghosts
The past and present
Ghosts are symbolic for people or events from the past, whose presence still lingers now. This dream might be informing you to let go of the past and move into the future. Do not confuse this with visitations that occur in dreams from loved ones who have passed away because occasionally when there is a need for closure they will turn up in your dream to help you move forward.

Giant
The size of an event, problem or positive outcome.
When things are gigantic or oversized in our dreams its usually because we feel small in caparison to our problems or overwhelmed by the size of our difficulties. Look at what is ‘giant’ in the dream to help you understand the translation better. Angels are often seen as giant beings in dreams, they bring the message that they are bigger than your problems.
Oversized problems?
Be the bigger person?

Gifts/Presents
Your skills and attributes and how you use them
To see a gift-wrapped box in your dream tells you that you have attributes that are worth more than money and you should be thankful for that. You will get what you need but not necessarily what you want.
Spiritual gifts?
Use your gift?

Glass
(Windows)
Your outlook
If you break glass it can mean that you need to break down invisible barriers that hinder your path or get in your way. Being cut by glass symbolises getting hurt by cutting remarks. Glass can also be used to describe your own ability to see things clearly, consider if the glass is clean or dirty. Glassware is also used as a symbol of fragility, it highlights how transparent and easily broken some things are.

Glasses

(Eyes in body/Blindness)
How you see things
Spectacles help you to see things more clearly and put recent events into perspective, especially if you haven’t been doing this lately. Fuzzy vision signifies confusion and not seeing what’s really going on around you.

Grain
(Flour )
Cereal crops tend to have the same symbolism as seeds, you plant a seed to watch it grow and develop into something of value for the future.
A seed of an idea?.
A grain of common sense is useful?

Wood Grain

It's ingrained in you
The grain in wood can be used to describe the pattern or vibration that you create from living your life, it all takes time, but strength and wisdom develop from the experience. When you go against the grain it represents how you tend to go against the norm or rub people up the wrong way by not conforming to their expectations of you.
Is something deeply ingrained?

Grave
(Cemetery/Death /Funeral)

(Leopard in the cemetery Dream)

Fear dream
Graves or tombstones will represent past events or people that have moved on. Gravestones also provide markers for major events or important people that shared your life, maybe you haven’t let go and now is the time that you must move forward.

Groups
The shared journey.
A group of people in your dream can express the need to be with people of like mind where you are all working towards the same goal.
You are not alone on your journey of experience.

Growth

Growing up, learning and maturing.
Money growth.

Gymnast
(Acrobat)
Your skills and talents
A Gymnast is a similar symbol to an acrobat in dream language and represents your own ability to perform or to be able to pull off the manoeuvres that are needed to complete the required task; the task itself could be anything from completing a difficult work project too dealing with an unusual family situation, your own circumstances will provide the explanation.

Guard
(Prison)

Freedom and restriction

Hammer
(Tools)
A hammer can represent aggression and destructiveness in dream language, but it can mend and repair as well because they can nail things back together when things have fallen apart. The type of hammer you use in your dream and what you use it for will help you see the force that you are using to destroy or repair.

Are you using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Hair

(Baldness above/Brush below)
(Comb/Tangle)
The symbol of hair can be interpreted in a few different ways in dream translation and it is for you to decide on the appropriate meaning. Feelings about your looks are often portrayed by your hair and losing your hair in a dream can highlight your insecurities and fears about your own attractiveness.
Hair is viewed as a symbol of vitality and strength and baldness is used as a symbol of wisdom. Having long or thick beautiful hair in a dream is a way for you to recognise your own self-confidence, power, and worth, these things can grow over time.
Combing your hair can describe untangling a mental dilemma or getting your thoughts in order, but you could also be straightening out your financial affairs or anything that needs bringing back to order.
Cutting your hair can help you to acknowledge that making cutbacks will help to bring order and that you need to re-establish a refined approach to finances and your financial stresses.
Cutting or shaving all your hair off in a dream is a way to show your disapproval or anger at a situation or person who has wronged you or treated you unfairly, it is done as a protest.
If there are insects in your hair in a dream then most likely they will represent the minor aggravations that you have to deal with mentally, those small but annoying problems that are difficult to eradicate.
Washing your hair is a way to get rid of the negativity that builds up in your mind. Tying your hair up is linked with getting on with things and being ready for action.
Mentally de-stress.
Let your hair down.

Hairdresser

This will represent someone who tries to change your outlook, or challenges you to become something different to who you are. Think about if you are happy with the haircut or not, also, consider the type of hair cut you get in the dream. If your hair is cut short it might be a symbol of something which will be cut short.

Handle

A handle will symbolise the way you need to get a grip or get a handle on a situation. If a handle is stuck or won’t open a door then this can represent how you not handling a situation very well. Basically, a handle is about what you can or can’t handle, for example, a hot handle will represent a situation that is too hot to handle, etc.
The way you handle situations.
Get a grip!

Hanging
To be left hanging.
Something is hanging over you?
The conversion of injustice to justice.

Harp
(Music)
Creativity
Instruments can help to describe the music or joy that we have in our lives or create around us. A harp creates spiritual vibration and the heavenly music and so will probably link with this is some way. Your psychic work and soul connections are being highlighted.
Heavenly vibrations!

Harvest
(Seasons)

Reap your personal harvest
It’s time to reap the rewards from the hard work that you have done. Look at what is being harvested for a better translation.

Hat

(See Clothes)

Hearse
(Death/Nightmares)

Fear dream and fear of transitions
Funeral cars are used as symbols to warn you that the next part of your journey will inevitably bring about substantial changes. Maybe a situation or relationship is ending, or you are moving towards having closure with a problem that has been around for a long time. Funeral cars represent movement through a difficult change.
Most people are frightened of death especially if they dream about it because they fear it forewarns a death, but dreaming of death more often refers to the death of something rather than someone and we need a mini death to occur so that we can begin again. Other symbols in the dream might give an indication as to what the death is referring to.
Lost opportunities.
Accepting change.
Letting go.
Starting again.
A loss.

Heaven

Peace and your personal piece of heaven
Our spiritual path is shown through the image of heaven, and we experience our own heaven with the vibration that we create while on the earth. We are the creator of our experience and this can be mirrored in dreams of heaven or hell. Divine love can be shown through images of heaven and spiritually you may be trying to understand God or search for the source of divinity. You are on a journey of enlightenment, and while on this journey you might discover that you are the one that is in charge of your life, and the journey is about learning unconditional love for yourself and others, any other experience is an added benefit.
Heaven dreams are also about visiting and connecting with loved ones who have moved on.
Creating your own heaven?

Heavy
(Weight )

Heaviness in any form will simply be symbolic of the weight that you feel upon your shoulders. If someone is heavy then you find it difficult to support them, as a friend or financially.
Weighed down?

Hell
(Nightmares)
(See Heaven above)

Fear dream
This simply translates as your own personal hell and needing to find a way out or exit from it. Negativity overpowers, but freedom comes from positivity and prayer, spiritually you are learning to overcome negative forces.

Going through hell at the moment?

Hiding
(Games Hide and Seek)
(Disappearing)

Fear dream
The translation will come from what or who you are hiding from? It might be your own feelings or problems. This type of symbol might also be linked with what you don’t want other people to know about you. If someone else is hiding you might want to consider what they are hiding from?
Maybe there are hidden aspects of a situation that you do not understand or have full knowledge of.

High

Reaching your goals
If you are up high and very scared in a dream then this symbol will link with the fear dream, you need to overcome your fears or learn to manage them. Maybe you fear moving up in your job because of the added responsibilities, think about where you were up high in your dream to relate it to a section of your life, also think about who you are with.
Being higher up can explain when you have a better vantage point and can see further, being higher, in this case, could represent when you are on a higher level spiritually so you can see further and understand more.
If you are high on drugs in your dream then this could link with your recreational activities, warnings and issues could be given to you through this type of symbolism, falling is symbolic for the comedown and might help you to recognise that hitting the ground represents hitting rock bottom.
If you don't take any drugs in your waking life then the symbolism could come from feeling high from happiness, and falling in a dream will represent the lows of life. If you wake up before hitting the floor then this is because the outcome is unknown, you could land on your feet or hit rock bottom, it's up to you and your bouncing back abilities.

Hit
Hitting a person will link with releasing anger, and who is doing the hitting in the dream should be thought about, whoever it is must learn to release anger positively. Because your attention has been brought to this person it might be an idea to think about the character type and if they 'hit out' at the people around them. They might not do it physically but the result is the same because someone will be at the end of their outbursts.
If they are hitting an inanimate object like a wall, for example, you can translate the dream easily because you are being given easy clues, when someone hits a wall it means they have come to a standstill or dead end and can't go on any longer. Think about sayings like 'hitting the bottle' 'hit an all-time low' etc.

Hill

Obstacle dream
(Valley and Hills Dream)
A hill will usually represent an obstacle to get over and its steepness will correspond with the effort and energy involved in doing so.

Hive, Honey
(Bees in animal dreams)
Creativity and abundance
The nice things in life come from working hard as a team.

Hole
(Empty)

Feeling empty inside
A big hole in the ground can help to explain how you should try to avoid pitfalls, whereas holes or open wounds on the limbs or body signify hurt or damage that is caused by someone else’s actions, or that they have left a hole in your life. A hole that is getting bigger represents a situation that is taking over or becoming more of a problem, and this can link with a financial situation. A black hole can symbolise a void that is left from loss, or unknown territories that you are trying to negotiate.

Holiday
(Countries/Passport )
(Visiting other countries)
A much-needed rest.
Take a break from the normal labours of life.
Rejuvenation is needed.
A break from a situation.

Home/House
(Buildings/Rooms/Structures)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)
(The Big House Dream)

Dreams of home or a house that you live in often symbolise the structures that you have built around you with your family, friendships and your working life, these things all fit together to create the foundation of your present situation.
House dreams can refer to the past, present, or future and help you make comparisons between the various stages of your life, consider if you have grown from your experiences or not. It is very common to dream of homes from the past because that stage of your life contained important experiences that can help you understand how you react and behave now.
Home is where the heart is and quite often people return to previous homes in their dreams because they feel that there is something there of importance, like youth or having no responsibilities, sometimes it's for people that were around at that time. Looking back is helpful when you need to understand the importance of moving forwards and of letting go of things that you cannot get back. You need to find happiness in the present time and recreate contentment.
Any kind of attack on your home life can be explained using burglars or intruders in the dream scenario and they stand for people who can disrupt the normal running of your home life, they signify people who take from you, this could be your energy and time rather than physical objects.
If things are broken in your dream home, it helps you understand that repairs need to be done to ensure that your home life can carry on as normal, what exactly needs repairing only you can decide, it could be family relationships or situations to do with money or anything that prevents harmony and balance in your home.
If your home is different in some way in your dream, (which is a common scenario) then there is a wish for change, you would like things to be different but are unsure what you need to do to instigate these changes. Perhaps you wish for expansion or you feel restricted in your current set up. It is easier for outsiders to see more clearly the changes you could make for improvements to your set up.
To dream of a messy house is another common scenario which many mums experience, this dream also implies that there are adjustments to be made. It happens mostly when you have to tidy up other people’s mess, your family creates problems for you to deal with, and this filters into your dreams as a way for you to see that it’s time for them to become self-sufficient and tidy their own affairs. A mess can stand for any situation which requires your energy to clear up. If you have young children, the messy house dream might link with your own fears about messing things up.
A house that is too small implies that you have outgrown your current situation, whereas a house that is too big suggests you feel lost and overwhelmed from the responsibilities of the home. An empty house would portray the same types of feelings, feeling empty inside. Maybe your children have left home or you are trying to accept a newly single life.
Being locked in a house is a way of explaining a lack of freedom for the dreamer; it might be the house itself that causes this lack of freedom because of the financial burdens that houses bring. Just think about what is keeping you, prisoner, in your own home, you can change a situation but it will require effort on your part.
A dilapidated house implies there is that feeling of ‘everything is falling apart at the seams’ and trying to hold things together for the sake of the home and family.
A big luxurious house can symbolise ‘the dream of attainment’ it can be used to bring your attention to the fact that anything is obtainable if you use your head, understand that failures lead to success.

Hook
(Fishing)
A hook that you hang clothes on might suggest you need to hang up an idea just for now.
A fishing hook suggests entrapment or trying to catch the object of your desire.
Fishing for information?

Horizon
This symbol corresponds with what is coming up on your personal horizon.

Horse
(Animals/Journey)
A horse provides us with the means to get along on our journey through life, they can be symbolic for someone who helps you along on your journey, usually a male influence unless you know in your dream that the horse is a mare. To be galloping suggests wanting to move fast in your ventures or a personal relationship. A harness will symbolise the ability to harness and control power and direction.
Was there anything wrong with your horse?
A Sagittarius. (Horoscope)
A workhorse represents someone who works too hard.

Horseshoe
Lucky influences.
Things will move along nicely.

Hosepipe
(Energy)
(Pipes/Tube /Water)

Emotional leakage
To dream of a garden hose connects your emotions with your ideas and directs them in the area that they should go. If you are watering a garden then you are concentrating your emotional energies into a project that needs invigorating or hydrating and this will instigate growth, without water nothing can grow, and it depends on what you are watering for a clearer translation.
To be watering ‘something’ in a dream which doesn’t necessarily grow suggests that your emotional energy is miss-guided and is being wasted on things that have no chance of development. If there is a hole or leak in the hosepipe then there is a leak in your own emotional energy, perhaps it is used up elsewhere, or perhaps it symbolises a leak of tears.

Hospital
(Doctor/Nurse )

Healing
We attend a hospital in a dream to get help with a problem that we cannot deal with alone. It is a place for healing and for searching out people who are experienced in dealing with certain issues.
Healing the mind, body, and soul.

Hot
(Weather)
If you feel the sun warming you in a dream it is revitalising you and helping you to grow spiritually. Heat can symbolise anger and overheated arguments as well as passion, lust, and steamy relationships.

Getting hot under the collar?

Hotel
(Holiday)
(Visiting other countries)
(Hotel Dream)
Hotels offer a break from your normal everyday life, they represent a temporary shelter providing care and relaxation.
Something different from the usual responsibilities. The condition of the hotel should be noted, if it's run down or shabby, there might be a change of circumstance, but it will only be temporary.
Do you feel like your home is like a hotel?

Hound
(Animals/Wolf)
Being hounded.
Harassment.

Hoover
(Energy)
(Vacuum)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)
(Machinery)

Trying to get organised and get rid of crap
Vacuum cleaners are used to clean up, so they could describe help which is available to clean up minor messes, who is making the mess in the first place should be thought about. Electrical items can represent the energy and tools you have at hand to deal with issues that come along, the hoovers suction might be used to symbolise how much you can take, or put up with, clearing up after other people is more about a mess they have got themselves into. The suction can also explain a sucker who puts up with too much crap from people. Think about the condition of the hoover in your dream.
Is someone sucking the life out of you?

Hunger
(Food)
We experience hunger in a dream if there is something we need or want and are not able to get it, hunger can represent the emptiness you feel inside. If other people are hungry in the dream it will be about their needs and your ability to provide what they want from you.
You need to have a hunger for something to actually get the motivation to go out there and get it. It is only when we are hungry enough we make changes.

Hut
(Structures)
A shelter from temporary situations or passing annoyances, things will change! Think about what the hut is used for in your dream to help you translate its meaning because what's going on inside may be more important than the hut itself. Also, think about the condition, colour, and size of the hut. Run-down or broken shelters describe a time when things are deteriorating and you will need to think about arranging something more permanent or long-standing.

Emotions and the conditions around you
The weather changes quickly and so too will this phase of your life, ice can warm and melt and change from one state of being into another rather quickly.

Igloo
(Ice/Structure)

Ink
(Tattoo)
Permanance
Ink can describe the act of making information known and understood by everyone, it also becomes a permanent mark once made, so can, therefore, represent the idea that once information is out there it cannot be taken back. Tattoos, for example, create an indelible mark and can describe an experience that stays with you throughout life.

Internet
(Cables/Email/Telephone/Wiring)
(Energy)
Communication and knowledge
To translate a dream about the internet you should think about what you're trying to achieve in the dream, trying to log-on but not being able to will be classed as an obstacle dream whereby you are trying to interact with someone but are unable to 'click' or 'link-up', think about the wording, things like connections and communication will come to mind.
The internet might be used for trying to contact someone 'out there' perhaps someone who is in the wider vicinity, or someone who is in spirit. You could also be trying to make contact with your guide, processing spiritual information which is very like trying to use a computer when you have never used it before, full of obstacles and pitfalls and delving into the unknown. You never know who is out there at the end of the connection you have made. Therefore the internet is a useful tool but should be handled with care, it is for this reason, it's an ideal symbol of spiritual contact. Always make a mental note of the dream scenario regards the internet because it will help you when you are dealing with who and what is out there, especially when you are on the blindside of contact. Remember that machinery in dream language is symbolic for things to help or aid you, a computer would be classed as machinery and machinery that requires electricity is also linked with energy and communication, and making connections, therefore any issues with the electricity supply will be about your own level of energy and the vibration you create in order to link with the higher consciousness.

Insects
(Animals/Insects)
Insects are usually seen as intruders depending on the dream scenario, and although not necessarily liked, insects are industrious and show how working together as a team reaps rewards and ensures survival. Insects are also used in dreams to show aggravations and stubborn annoyances.

Insecticide is used to eradicate anything that spoils or undermines your own growth, you are taking preventative steps towards ensuring that nothing gets in your way, the problem with doing this is that you may get rid of the good things that you need as well.

Spiritual work or career
Dreaming of your job or being at work in a dream can translate how your work life is progressing, if you are struggling to do a job or carry out a task in your dream it is because you feel that things are standing in your way or stopping you from making progress at work, this is an obstacle dream and helps you to see that there will always be obstacles in every job or career but its how you get over or through them that really counts, nothing worth having comes easily.
Work is often the topic of many recurring dreams, I hear so many people say how they are always at work in their dreams, either their current job or an old job. When you keep returning to an old job that you had it is because you miss some aspects of it, maybe you were really happy there and haven't managed to find that job satisfaction again. Perhaps you had good friends and work colleagues there, and haven't been able to bond in the same way as you did in that job. Your subconscious likes to take you back to those times to remind you that work can be a chore, but it can also be a place where you enjoyed being part of a close team where you were all in the same boat together, striving to reach similar goals and overcoming problems. It's hard to recreate those times, I know, but you have learned that being part of a team with like-minded people brings great satisfaction. The feeling of belonging and supporting each other. This can be recaptured on the spiritual journey, the work that you do in a spiritual sense with like-minded people often brings back that feeling of belonging and purpose. You may not find these rewards in your job again but you can on your spiritual path. It is for the reason that returning to a job you loved is being highlighted. Work is work after all, and spiritual work can literally mean helping other people, it doesn't matter how!
Spiritual work is often replicated in a dream by doing work in the physical sense; this is about your own contribution to society and the effort you put into your own spiritual well-being.
Another reason that you are always at work in your dream is to highlight the fact that you are 'all work and no play' and you need to find a balance between the two.

Jogging
(Energy/Running)

Pace yourself
If you are normally a jogger in your waking life it won't be unusual for you to dream about jogging, however, someone who never jogs or runs can still get symbolism from this dream. A jogger chooses to run because they love it and love the feel-good factor that comes with being healthy and fit, and with setting yourself daily targets to reach. Jogging can represent goals that you have set yourself and how achievable they are for you. A non-runner might find jogging or running quite a challenge, whereas, a jogger will already be of the mindset about how to reach their goals. This type of dream is reminding you that to get where you want to be you will have to challenge yourself and use your personal energy to make strides.
You are running your own life.

Journey
(Admiral/Accidents/Bridge /Destination /Energy)

(Petrol/Railway/Transport/Walking)
(Visiting other countries)
(Journey and Travel Dream)
(Machinery)

(A ticket to ride?)
If you make any kind of journey in your dream then the dream is often showing you the next stage of your own journey through life, any obstacles that you come up against can be translated individually but they help to forewarn you of pitfalls, hurdles, brick walls, etc. Water obstacles describe the emotional obstacles in your way and their severity.
Journey dreams are a natural way for you to pre 'know' the next chapter of your life, if the journey in your dream is smooth and faultless you can think positively about your future because it should be a smooth ride and in the right direction.
If the journey you make is full of obstacles and obstructions then the next phase will not be quite so straight forward, incidentally, it is only when we are challenged that we make any real progress spiritually, this, unfortunately, is how progress works, all things in moderation brings real balance for the soul and accepting the difficult times are what help us appreciate the good times in our lives.
When you dream of getting from one place to another easily it is usually because you have experienced that road before and therefore find it easy to negotiate the obstacles that you come across, flying over obstacles is a way to show you that you have previous experience dealing with that type of problem so you will fly through it this time.
It is when we come across new types of problems and have no previous experience to draw from that we dream of struggling to make progress on our journey.
How you travel in your dream can give you further information as to your progress in all different sections of your life and not just your spiritual progress, the mode of travel used can give you clues to the energy and power available for you to use, from your own stores and from the people around you that are willing to help.
Transport is used to transport you from one place to another and can be considered as a symbol for an external source of help, engines distribute energy and can represent your own energy or drive, or the added energy you get from other people. Negativity drains your energy and positivity propels it.
Transport meanings can be helpful with your translations as follows:
Airplane

(Airplane in A)
An aeroplane needs you to have faith and take-off into the unknown, putting you trust in someone else to help you reach the heights you wish to reach. An aeroplane lifts us up and exhilarates us while taking us on long exciting journeys and this can describe a project taking off, or you needing a goal to aim for, even if it seems so far out of reach. Much effort and energy are needed for you to reach the heights and distance that you want to attain, but the flight is possible for anyone who has the right attitude and motivation.
Any problems with the flight in a dream highlight the fact that there are obstacles that could get in the way of you reaching your overall destination or goal. Plane crashes create an easy way for you to understand how your dreams have come crashing down; you have lost faith in yourself or you have lost sight of your dreams.
Boats
(Boats in B)
The type of boat will be important in your translation so see individual entries as well, but boats help us on our passage through emotional journeys; the ride you take on a boat can give you clues about what you might expect from emotional attachments whilst on that journey. Boats provide protection from drowning in your feelings and so represent the overall support that is available to you from the people around you, sometimes the support comes from unknown quarters.
Remember that we are all in the same boat!
Bus
Travelling with other people reminds you that you are not alone on your current journey, and assistance will be there if you need it, but when we use transport that requires a fare to be paid it helps us to understand that we always end up paying for the help that we get in some other way. Trying to make progress in one area can draw the energy from another and leave it depleted, or if you give attention to one area of your life another area suffers neglect.
If you do not have the fare in your dream, then you must consider that things are not balanced (It's not fare) or maybe you do not have the means/energy to continue with the plans that you have made. If you must get off the bus before the stop that you want, then you may need to continue the next part of your journey alone or without assistance, because other people are on their own journey, and have chosen a different route. This type of dream happens when you do not have everything you need to continue on your chosen course, you are halfway there but not quite. The time isn’t right for where you wanted to go.
A double-decker bus can highlight the different level you are on to other people, not being on the same level means your journey together will be short. Being on the top deck can mean you look down on others or that you feel like people look down on you.
Being higher up can explain when you have a better vantage point and can see further down the road, you can tell if the way you are heading has obstacles or not. Being higher, in this case, could represent when you are on a higher level spiritually so you can see the future.
Cars
The car can sometimes be used as a substitution for our body in dreams, so the condition of the car should be noted because if there is something wrong with it the dream might be referring to how your body is running, sometimes we need an MOT the same way as our cars do. Petrol can represent your energy stores and an empty tank literally means you have run out of energy to move forward, the progress you want to make isn’t equal to the time and energy you can give. Most people feel like they are running on empty at some point and this type of dream wants you to understand that there are times when you need to do nothing and enjoy some rest because it's equally important as making fast progress.
Tyres can also depict how tired or deflated you feel, and a vehicle’s brakes will describe your stopping ability, being able to stop something, especially if it isn't good for you, addictions are sometimes brought up in a dream in this way but so too is any situation that is out of control. The steering wheel dictates how we steer ourselves past obstacles or control the direction our lives are taking, and it also links with our ability to control situations, people or events.
Not having the correct paperwork to drive a car in a dream or driving a car without a license or insurance etc. helps you to acknowledge that the progress you are making is detrimental and will lead to complications, perhaps you feel guilty about trying to do something that your not qualified for. You have not got what it takes at the moment to make the progress you want!
Train
Trains have a similar translation to a bus, but they are more connected to a fixed route or destination. Trains are mostly used to express the idea that some journeys and events are predestined or pre-ordained and that there is nothing you can do to change events that have been set in motion. Train tracks symbolise the tracks that were laid down to ensure that you meet important people, reach important milestones or fulfil certain tasks, to benefit your own or other people's spiritual progression. They can also help you understand when you have come off track or deviated from your plans. It can also explain how your life has de-railed or you have gone off the rails.
Trains stop at stations and this creates a chance for you to get off and change direction, but these 'chances' only arrive at certain times in your life, sometimes these ‘chances’ do not come along often and this is when trains are more appropriate as a symbol in your personal journey dream.
Being stuck at a station offers you information about feeling stuck on your journey and not being able to move on or progress. You are not ready for the next phase as you have more work to do where you are now.
Going past the station that you wanted helps you understand missed opportunities. Stations are also important because it is here that we meet people who will be important in the next stage of our journey. Stations act as signposts to the future, they remind us that we are merely passing through a stage and that change can be just around the corner. Train stations also provide a symbol to explain the people who turn up in our lives sporadically, they are not in it the whole time but are no less important than those who are. We often have a deep connection and recognise the person immediately, spiritual guides or people that we have loved in the past are perceived this way. The station represents a meeting point or a cross-line which can be accessed by people from different places in the universe or in a different level of existence.
The carriages of a train can represent the different sections of your life and how they all fit together to create the overall experience. They also help you to understand the people who you share a particular experience with, or who you share a part of your journey with, these people are important to you for different reasons, they might share a common goal or they are central to your own overall plan. It is not uncommon to share a carriage with people who you don’t know, but this explains how your own life is affected and designed by the influence of people who are in the background or who you haven’t actually met, and yes this can also mean people who are in the spirit world.
Electric trains provide the motivation and energy needed to for you to move forward and excel very quickly, especially if you are trying to fulfil a life plan or do something important to your destiny, whereas an old steam train would have been used in the past and might link with a past journey or experience you had.
Trains which are open-topped or become that way during the journey relay that the dreamer is 'open' spiritually, they are connected to their higher self, their life is transparent, meaning that they don't hide their life's journey away from people rather they share it with others to help them on their journey. This links very strongly with the spiritual journey.
Trucks
Trucks provide a similar translation to cars but the emphasis is on the access baggage and responsibilities that you carry along with you. The precious cargo can be used to describe your loved ones and how you feel as though you need twice the strength to transport everyone through a difficult phase or a particular patch of life. Sometimes we use a truck when a car would suffice, meaning that you use heavy force when a gentler form of getting what or where you want might be more appropriate.
Are you are carrying everyone else’s baggage?

The Destination of Your Journey
You may or may not know the destination in your dream, sometimes when we are unaware of an actual destination it is because we do not set ourselves goals and just go wherever life takes us. If you know the destination but can't get there in your dream it is because you are not ready or not finished with the current journey you are on.
The Destination of your journey holds important symbolic information which you should always consider when you have a journey type dream, because reaching a destination helps you to understand when you have fulfilled part of your own destiny, or you have experienced what you needed to become an enlightened and experienced individual. You have reached a milestone if you like, a time when you can leave the past behind and make new choices and choose new routes to take.
When you are unaware of the destination in your journey dream it is because you are not quite there yet and have a way to go to finish the experience you are having, the time it takes to reach a destination is an unknown equation because everyone takes as long as they take, one person can learn something very quickly and another will keep making the same choices that lead them down the same road over and over again. Trains and buses especially help relay this message, they run on a cyclical route; life moves in cycles and it is difficult to notice the progress that you have made especially when you keep going over old ground. Rest assured that the cycle you perceive is, in fact, a spiral.
The other problem with destinations is that they can change, a person’s free will always dictate the route that they choose. The ultimate destination will always be the same for everyone and all that really matters is that you ‘took part’ in the experience; learning is learning no matter what route you chose.

Judge
A judge could express the fact that you feel as if you are being judged, treated unfairly, or dictated to.

Spiritually judging your own actions or thoughts.
The search for justification.
Never judge others unless you're a saint!

Judo
The need to overcome opposition or adversity.
Fighting for a cause?

Jug
Translate the contents of the jug to help you with the translation but a jug can be used to symbolise available resources. An empty jug symbolises a lack of resources and a full jug represents ample opportunities to provide for your needs.

Jump
Jumping off something could symbolise taking a leap of faith. Jumping off a cliff or diving board, for example, explains how you might just have to jump right in and see what happens.

Do you have to jump when someone else tells you to?
Jumping from transport describes how you are trying to change your present course of action even though the time isn’t right to do so. You may or may not know the outcome in the dream as to what happened after you jumped; if you don't then its because the outcome is not known, how you land is up to you to decide.

Junk
(Rubbish)
(Broom/Dirt/Dust/Washing)
(Messy House Dream)
Rubbish and junk merely represent all the things that you have failed to deal with, the things that you have stored away in the back of your mind to deal with on another day, the state of things around you now are because you haven’t dealt with previous issues when they arose.
Is someone talking rubbish?

Jury
Feeling judged by your peers?
Other people seem to be dictating your fate.
